The Hawaii House of Representatives late last week passed a bill that would establish civil unions for same-sex couples, and the bill could gain final approval by the state Senate as early as today before heading to the governor's desk. The bill would provide couples in civil unions the same benefits, rights and responsibilities afforded to married couples.
"Let today be that day where we move ever closer to justice for all," said openly gay State Rep. Blake Oshiro, who sponsored the bill.
