Today at the Hawaii State Capitol there was a big vote on a controversial issue. HB444, the bill that would allow for civil unions for homosexuals, has drawn tens of thousands of opponents from every religion, every ethnicity, and every walk of life to the State Capitol to rally in large numbers.
Mostly these rallies have been peaceful and held with the intention of showing lawmakers that a majority of residents, and voters, still oppose civil unions and same-sex marriage. Unfortunately, Senator Gabbard was physically and verbally attacked by a HB444 supporter at the rally last week.
Mike has forever been tied to this movement in Hawaii for his brave and determined efforts to lead the fight to protect traditional marriage beginning in the early 90s. Thanks in large part to his efforts and to voters who made their wishes clearly known, we passed a constitutional amendment with a 70% majority to protect marriage.
Mahalo Senator Gabbard for continuing to take a strong stance to protect the foundation of our society!
