Hawaii Civil Unions Bill
Wins Final Approval
New Governor Will Sign!
Hawaii State Senate Chamber, Yesterday
Feeling the weight of history on my shoulders,
I was there for all those abused folks
who never lived to see this day.
Feeling the weight of history on my shoulders,
I was there for all those abused folks
who never lived to see this day.
There had been much contention and hurt feelings. . . Years of sign waving, lobbying,
tears and slurs;
but the day had really come.
After some final speech-i-fying:
Souls Took Flight!
Song of the Day!
Will she ever understand
how it used to be, or
the battles fought for her?
Those are the people we elect. . . doing our business.
Mahalo - Thank You!

History.... Good for Hawaii.
Is it not that's what United States of America is all about ! Freedom, Equality for all and Ultimate democracy yearned by others !
Good news indeed.
You all need to send some Aloha spirit to Wisconsin
Nice Cloudia!
some day soon the world majority will realize our mistakes and speak out, write out and sing out that there is nothing wrong with who each of us are!
Aloha Cloudia!

Isn't it just too bad that all of the other states don't pass this? Great post Cloudia!
Finally! I'm glad our government did it. It says a lot about our state, something good.
Finally the victory is here.
Lovely picture of these flying bird on the beach.

Splendid pics. I loved the "Souls in flight"! - and took the first one to be an opera house.
There any haters in Hawaii that are going to move this one too through the court system to get another great progressive agenda law in front of this piece of shit Supreme Court of the United States?
I'm lovin that top that girl has on!
Why is there a giant disco ball in the senate chamber?
