Hawaii and the Will of the People vs the Will of - Who?
Colorado millionaire and homosexual activist, Tim Gill and his Gill Foundation have an estimated $460 million plus in resources. Mr. Gill is just one of a hand full of homosexual millionaires who have sought to promote the homosexual agenda - one state at a time. Colorado, Mr. Gill’s home state, went from being a very conservative state to a leading liberal state, passing one of the most pro-homosexual pieces of legislation in the country.
Currently, the state of Hawaii is in the cross hairs.
In 1993 the Hawaiian Supreme Court came close to making Hawaii the first state in the union to legalize same-sex marriage. The effort was halted and in 1998 the people of Hawaii spoke. Once on the ballot, Hawaiians passed a “defense of marriage” constitutional amendment. The amendment defines marriage as being between one man and one woman.
But that wasn’t the end of the story.
Last year, a bill proposing same-sex civil union was introduced in Hawaii. Same-sex civil unions are seen as an initial step in redefining marriage. The result was between 6 and 8 thousand Hawaiians came out in protest, one of the largest if not the largest protests in the state’s history.
Never the less, three weeks ago, on April 29, the Hawaiian House of Representatives voted 31-20 in favor of same-sex civil unions after earlier passage by the Hawaiian Senate.
The bill in now before Republican Governor Linda Lingle for signage into law or a veto. Governor Lingle will meet with both proponents and opponents of the bill next Monday and Tuesday, May 24 and 25.
Please pray for Governor Linda Lingle. We would encourage contacting Governor Lingle’s office and let her know we stand in opposition to civil unions in Hawaii and in our nation.
Thank you and God bless you today.
