Yesterday, Hawaii became one of five states who allow same-sex civil unions. To that I say: "New Year, New you go, girl." It slipped my mind that Hawaii didn't already recognize same-sex unions, since it's the rainbow state and a beautiful destination for a big gay ceremony. Luckily the lesbians won't have to profess their love to each other in grass skirts, since most of them already have a built-in one. But I do think the gay men are going to have a hard time finding a ukulele player who knows techno. I'm glad Hawaii is onboard with the rights for gays; I believe we all should be. The only thing that makes me a little nervous is the idea that it might be some Republican Right Wing agenda to get all of the gays on a handful of islands in the Pacific. Hopefully I'm wrong. Maika'I nui loa, Hawaii. Fingers crossed that all the unions that now take place in Hawaii follow their state role model and have a strong relationship just like when Dog the Bounty Hunter married another lady.
