Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) signed a bill into law earlier this week making Oregon the fourteenth state to bar defendants accused of violent crimes from using their victims’ sexual orientation or gender identity to argue for a more lenient sentence.
Under the bill’s provisions, defendants accused of second-degree murder cannot argue they were “under the influence of extreme emotional disturbance” upon learning of a victim’s LGBTQ identity.

Oregon Lawmakers Punt on a Bill That Sought to Reduce Criminal Sentences for Survivors of Domestic Violence We’re not there today and we have a lot of work to do before we can get there. Cherry blossoms along the Portland waterfront. (Mick Hangland-Skill)
Chief sponsor: Rep. Anna Williams (D-Hood River).
What it would do: HB 2825 seeks to allow Oregon judges the discretion to reduce the sentence of a person convicted of a crime, if that person was subject to physical, psychological or sexual abuse by an intimate partner or family member. In order for the defendant to qualify for the sentence reduction, the abuse must have been a contributing factor to the criminal behavior, and the mandatory minimum sentence must be unduly harsh given the circumstances.
In the season of peace, in the city of peace, last week the Oregon State Capitol was awash in both amity and animosity.
The local tourism agency, Travel Salem, promotes the region as âThe most Oregon part of Oregon.â That held true during the one-day special legislative session on Dec. 21. The dysfunction and violence that have bedeviled Portland for months, gaining national notoriety and splitting the state, moved south to Salem, where most of Oregonâs 90 legislators had gathered to approve coronavirus and wildfire relief legislation.
There is irony that Salem, our state capital and where I live, is named for peace. Maybe it is a sign of the times that the city Peace Plaza, which connects city hall with the city library, is closed because the library is being renovated.
