The strike of midnight Jan. 1 brought Hawaii a step closer to equality as the state's civil unions law went into effect.
As we enter this new chapter in Hawaii's history, Equality Hawaii wanted to provide members with answers to frequently asked civil union questions.
Partnering with Lambda Legal and the ACLU of Hawaii, we now have a fact sheet that addresses many questions. To download this resource, click here. To view it via a Web page, click here.

Freedom To Marry Launches 'Mayors For Marriage'
Continue Our Momentum In 2012
We had a lot to celebrate in 2011, one of the most successful years for equality in Hawaii.
Freedom To Marry, the campaign to win marriage nationwide, recently launched Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, a bipartisan coalition of more than 90 mayors supporting marriage for gay and lesbian couples.
Launched at a media conference Jan. 20 during the U.S. Conference of Mayors (embedded above), the campaign is chaired by the following mayors: Michael Bloomberg of New York City; Thomas Menino of Boston; Annise Parker of Houston; Jerry Saunders of San Diego and Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles.
