BREAKING: Final Vote Done, Hawaii Approves Civil Unions!
Posted By Eric Ethington (Author) on February 16, 2011
Honolulu, Hawaii – The State Senate just cast the final vote and civil unions have passed by a margin of 18-5! The bill now moves on to Governor Neil Abercrombie who has pledged on multiple occassions to sign it into law.
The same bill passed last year, but it was vetoed by Governor Linda Lingle.
Congratulations Hawaii!!
