If you are GLBT or ally and live anywhere in Hawaii, please be advised that HB 908 -relating to civil unions has been introduced in the 2007 Legislature. This bill, while not "marriage" provides all of the equal benefits of marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Given 1998 Constitutional amendment defining marriage, it is the best our community can get at the moment. It is an important step toward equality and deserves your support.
Please contact your state representative and let them know you
support this bill - HB908.
Step 1) - We need a hearing date. Call your rep and ask them to
contact the Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Tommy Waters, to
request a hearing.
Step 1A - Even if you don't live in Rep. Waters district (Lanikai,
Waimanalo on Oahu), call Rep. Waters and request a hearing date be scheduled for HB908
Step 2) Once a hearing is scheduled there will be a call for
testimony, but you can start writing yours now so it is ready to send in and share around with your friends so that they can do the same.
