Notice An odd thing in Oregon Law in current Statutes

[donkiez]

I believe domestic partnership is used to game the insurance system based on same sex couples that couldn't get married. They can't say only same sex people are allowed to get a domestic partnership but they can put conditions on it that don't appear to be bias. So this has less to do with actual marriage and more to do with politics and insurance.

 

[MarAzul]

that same-sex couples need not marry because they cannot procreate.

>>> Well apparently under the Oregon, they cannot Marry as that is in all major religions and the Oregon Constitution the union of a man and a woman.
But they can have a Domestic Partnership. So the question is, what is the reason for any restrictions like cousins?

why should the state have any prohibitions against the legal joining of any two consenting people of legal age?

>>>Just proper guidance I suppose. Many people will follow the law.
I just decided to skip the Banjo player part.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Male and female couples can enter into a domestic partnership, it just isn't same sex couples that can. That's why DPs can't be cousins.

 

[MarAzul]

So your going to throw out insults now. What kind of crap is that.

Well every answer was simply other obtuse or snark.
Doesn't that deserve to be acknowledge as such? If that is not true, then morons did indeed respond.

 

[riverman]

It's dumb laws like this that really hurts the popularity of banjo music in Oregon.

My banjo playing hasn't helped the cause either.....

[riverman]

Actually to be blunt, we just witnessed a parade of morons that have not a clue what the hell their legislature is doing.
So they post snark.

all 4 of you witnessed this?
one guy said he wants to see a parade....that's one plan from the oval office

I see no mention of this in statutes Dog.

"The establishment of a domestic partnership system will provide legal recognition to same-sex relationships, thereby ensuring more equal treatment of gays and lesbians and their families under Oregon law."

For some reason I think you maybe close to the mark. But I just don't understand why.

I also do not understand the roundabout way it all happened. Properly explained and section 106.305 does it reasonable well, I doubt there would have been much objection to DP law in the beginning. Much more logical and preferable to messing with the institution Marriage being the Joining of a Man and Woman committing to a union before their community and their God.

Had to double-check, but Marzy's actually right on this one.

https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/106.310

"Domestic partnership" means a civil contract described in ORS 106.300 (Short title) to 106.340 (Certain privileges, immunities, rights, benefits and responsibilities granted or imposed) entered into in person between two individuals of the same sex who are at least 18 years of age, who are otherwise capable and at least one of whom is a resident of Oregon."

Then you should identify as the same sex as your cousin. Then you two can breed away!

 

[riverman]

I didn't know Chris Kaman played the accordion!

 

[MarAzul]

It is also worth noting that public pressure and maneuvering by the courts, have managed to change the definition of Marriage the Dictionaries, including Webster and Oxford. But not in the Oregon Constitution, even the Legislature could not do that one.

So we have Marriage defined in the Constitution, subject to change by the people.
And Domestic Partnerships defined in Statutes, subject to change by the Legislature. Is this a good thing?

There are times, I do blame Bull Run.

 

[CupWizier]

What possible reason is there for prohibiting cousins to becoming domestic partners?

ORS 106.315


A domestic partnership is prohibited and void when:

(a)Either party to the domestic partnership had a partner or spouse living at the time of the domestic partnership unless the partner or spouse was the other party to the domestic partnership.

(b)The parties to the domestic partnership are first cousins or any nearer of kin to each other, whether of the whole or half blood, whether by blood or adoption, computing by the rules of the civil law. However, when the parties are first cousins by adoption only, the domestic partnership is not prohibited or void.

A better question is, why in the fuck would you be looking up that statute? You are definitely strange.

Or that old sailor superstition about women on board the vessel. bringing bad luck....

It is simple. We were more or less told that same sex marriage is legal in Oregon. I wanted to see just how the Legislature change the Constitution of Oregon.
I was under the impression, they could not.

Well, they can not, so they did not change the definition of Marriage. They created another legal status, Domestic Partnership.

Kingspeed could easily answer your curiosity...he's from Springfield Oregon and is in a same sex marriage. I'm sure he knows the definition in Oregon and the legal ramifications.

 

[MarAzul]

What kind of crap is that.

Can you detect the crap flying?

It is in the statutes. He did not get married in Oregon.

Kingspeed could easily answer your curiosity...he's from Salem Oregon and is in a same sex marriage. I'm sure he knows the definition in Oregon and the legal ramifications.

Kingspeed is from Springfield.

 

[Denny Crane]

Oregon has recognized same sex marriages since 2014. It has recognized same sex marriages from other states since 2013. The domestic partnership statute in question was enacted in 2008. Apparently, same sex couples can choose one or the other.

The statute I posted was 2015 I believe.
Which Statute are you finding this option in?
