Gay Marriage Debate Intensifies

(CBS/AP) The issue of gay marriage was prominent across the nation Wednesday, whether in debates in Congress, marriages in Portland and San Francisco and criminal charges filed in New York.

CBS News Correspondent John Blackstone reports the growing legal battle over gay marriage may come down to a fight over states rights and interpretations of 50 different state constitutions.

Portland, Oregon
Gay and lesbian couples started tying the knot in Portland on Wednesday after the county issued same-sex marriage licenses, joining the rapidly spreading national movement from San Francisco and upstate New York.

More than 150 people lined up for a sudden chance to wed after a Multnomah County commissioner said she would begin issuing the licenses to same-sex couples.
