Gov. Neil Abercrombie on Monday called for a special legislative session to move forward on a bill that would legalize gay marriage.
If lawmakers pass a bill, Hawaii would join 13 U.S. states and the District of Columbia in allowing gay marriage. The special session is scheduled to begin Oct. 28.
The bill is the culmination of 20 years of discussion, Abercrombie told reporters during a news conference at the Hawaii Capitol.
"Every variation on a view with regard to the issue of marriage and equitable treatment for those engaged in marriage has been aired, has been analyzed, has been discussed," Abercrombie said. "No one has been left out or has been marginalized in the process to this point."
Abercrombie acknowledged that some people will be against the bill because they disagree with the concept of gay marriage, but he said it includes provisions — including a religious exemption — to protect First Amendment rights.

more possible equality winning over discrimination.
it be great to see these issues go minimum to state supreme courts and ruled on but ill take it this way too!
The best solution would be SCOTUS hearing a direct case and ruling on it assuring all states stop discrimination and respect equal rights.

Anyway the extra provision protection is a complete waste of time but its nice frosting to put on the bill to settle down the conspiracy theorist and fear mongers. I guess in ways its also smart though too since it makes the bogus claims of saying churches/religions are in danger even more silly.

I hope it passes, just another stone in the road of equality!

I don't think he realizes that if he does this, Hawaii will literally sink into the ocean.

Two girls in bikinis on the beach kissing? I like it. Hell, you could sell tickets to that.

You do know it's not actually like the toy boat mom gives you to play with in the bathtub right, it's not just floating there until you fill it with water?

So a guy gets a very nice present on his birthday from the hot lesbians next door. He unwraps a gold timepiece. Thanks guys, he says, but what I actually said was, "I want to watch".

The fact that they have to wear bikinis means that the discrimination continues.

Heterosexuals, this is the reality

I'm in favor of gay marriage, but does it need a "special session?" This reminds me of Rick Perry's "de-fund PBS emergency."

Personal liberty and funding for Sesame Street. Totally comparable.

It just strikes me as something that could be done during the regular session in both cases.

Abercrombie said he chose to call a special session rather than allow legislators to consider the issue next year in part because of implications on taxes for this year.

"There are serious, deep and wide-ranging consequences," Abercrombie said.

Abercrombie said if legislators move quickly and efficiently, the special session could last four to five days.

not saying this changes anything for you or anyone just pointing out what he said his supposed reason is behind it

I don't think freedom should wait. We pay these guys enough to come in on the weekend every once and a while, wouldn't you say?
