Civil Union Legislation Heads to Governor in Hawaii
Civil union legislation cleared the last legislative hurdle in Hawaii on Wednesday, receiving an 18-5 vote in the state senate. "Today is a momentous day," said Sen. Clayton Hee. "There is no denying that by this action Hawaii takes a significant step towards true equality." Governor Neil Abercrombie has promised to sign the bill into law. Last year former-Governor Linda Lingle vetoed similar legislation. Related Media Coverage: Honolulu Star Advertiser ?
