CIVIL UNIONS BILL PASSES HAWAII SENATE!

Today was a great day for equality as Hawaii's Senate passed SB 232, a civil unions bill, by a 19-6 vote.

The bill, which is identical to last session's HB 444 that was vetoed by Gov. Linda Lingle, provides that the equal rights and responsibilities of married couples in Hawaii be available to thousands of same-sex couples in the state.

The legislation now moves to Hawaii's House of Representatives, where action is expected to proceed next week.

ALOHA!
