LEGISLATURA DE HAWAII: MEDIDAS SOBRE UNIONES CIVILES ARRASÓ CON GRAN MAYORÍA

Smart Brief / April30

The Hawaii House approved a civil-unions measure. The bill, which has already cleared the state Senate, would grant unmarried couples, gay or straight, the same benefits as married couples. Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican who had asked legislators not to focus on the issue this year, now has 45 days to either sign or veto the bill. The Honolulu Advertiser (4/29)
