Transgendered?
Your job could be in jeapordy. |
In 31 states, it's
still legal to fire someone because they're gay. In 39 states it
is legal to fire someone for being transgender. What else does BRO
have to say?
While we work to preserve
our new laws banning discrimination here in Oregon, we must keep
up pressure for basic rights at the Federal level, too. That's why
we want you to urge you to take action in support of the Federal
Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is expected to come
to a vote before the U.S. House of Representatives early next week.

Happy Couples?
As of today, 56
couples in Deschutes County have become 'hitched' through
the new domestic partnership law. The process begins by knowing
the link to the website to download the form (which is below).
Be advised: you'll need 8 1/2" by 14" paper to print
this form onto (not kidding). After that, it's off to the
notary. Don't sign your application until you are in front
of the notary by the way.
No notary is available
to you at the Clerk's office, but your bank will likely notarize
your paperwork for free. Yahoo! You'll save some of that cash
in notary fees so that you can pay $55.00 to the county. They
will reward your efforts with a blank certificate of 'domestic
partnership'. It's blank so that you can have it filled out
at a ceremony. I was surprised that it was blank, and worried
that I might be a 'second class citizen' until my pal said
she and her husband's were blank too. So i'll wait to find
someone good handwriting to fill it out.
The rest of the
story: apparently, the clerk's office (1300
NW Wall Street, Suite 200, Bend) is dead early Friday
afternoons. Shoot for then. We had no waiting anywhere. Don't
forget the extra $3.75 to have the great seal of the county
of Deschutes put on your photocopy of of the form so that
you can prove to folks everywhere that you are legit.
