LGBT civil rights groups in Oregon say they are considering taking their push for civil unions to voters following the death in the legislature of a bill that would have allowed same-sex unions.

"We are not giving up, and we are not going away," Roey Thorpe, the executive director of Basic Rights Oregon told the Associated Press.

"A ballot measure might not have been a reasonable option a few years ago, but it might become one now."
