To win the freedom to marry in Oregon, we have to run a proactive ballot measure so that Oregon voters can end the exclusion of gay and lesbian couples from marriage.
Marriage is about committed couples who make a lifelong promise to take care of each other, in sickness and in health.
Only marriage provides the dignity, respect and legal certainty that same-sex couples need and deserve.
I stand ready to support the freedom to marry by talking to friends and family about the importance of marriage equality and the obstacles gay and lesbian families face everyday because they are excluded from the freedom to marry.
In signing this pledge, I add my voice to the hundreds of thousands across the country who are willing to stand up and be counted in support of marriage equality.
