Congratulations to any Oregon couples who have been eagerly awaiting this ruling. And, to the people who helped make it possible by being out or by making your support for marriage equality known-- thank you! You have done good work.

Nineteen states, not including the District of Columbia. And-- this makes me really happy-- now 44% of the U.S. population lives in a state where marriage equality is law.
