Over the past 35 years, Donna Taylor and Paula Kratz have raised a daughter, bought a house and built a life together without the legal protections that come with marriage.
They've told their story countless times at the Oregon Legislature, at rallies and to the media to support gay rights through decades of hope and disappointment.
On Monday, Taylor, 61, and Kratz, 58, plan to be among hundreds of same-sex couples across Oregon who are expected to register as domestic partners under a new state law that entitles them to most of the benefits and responsibilities of married couples.
