The lawsuit alleged that Oregon's constitutional ban on marriage for lesbian and gay couples 鈥� Measure 36 鈥� violates the U.S. Constitution.
This case was consolidated with Geiger v. Kitzhaber, a case filed in October 2013 by attorneys Lake Perriguey and Lea Ann Easton in U.S. District Court in Eugene that also sought to overturn Measure 36. The plaintiff couples moved for summary judgment, and the State of Oregon announced that it would no longer defend the ban on marriage for same-sex couples. On May 19, 2014, the judge ruled that Oregon's marriage ban was unconstitutional.
