Oregon same-sex marriage group plan vote for 2014 ballot - NBC Right Now/KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA |

PORTLAND, Ore.  - Supporters of same-sex marriage say they're aiming at next year's ballot to reverse Oregon's ban on gay marriage, which was approved in 2004.

 

Basic Rights Oregon, the state's leading gay-rights group, said Monday it would form a campaign organization to get a constitutional amendment on the November 2014 ballot.

 

Voters in Oregon approved the ban on gay marriage by a vote of nearly 57% to 43%.

 

Basic Rights Oregon said in a statement that approval of gay marriage in other states and shifting public opinion has caused a shift in momentum.
