The Oregon Supreme Court has ruled this morning to void the marriage certificates issued to same-sex couples in Multnomah County last March. I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed. [www.bro.org](http://www.bro.org) for more info. ---

Has anyone else heard about this? ---

Has anyone else heard about this? No, but how did it come about that a same-sex couple from Michigan was legally married in the first place? ---

This is really odd, but from vague memories of a concert on video tape, I have the image stuck in my head of a ghostly vision of Freddy Mercury looming over the state of Oregon and saying, “I still love you.” ---

Sweetheart, don’t move anywhere into the interior of the country or you will experience a nasty shock . . . I have a professor who just moved to Michigan from California. She told me she’d never even met a Republican until she came here. ---
