Why are they so happy to take away civil rights? Sometimes we just don’t understand the hate.

UPDATE: Unfortunately its a NO for Civil Unions in the Aloha State.  Governor Linda Lingle VETOED Civil Unions today and stated her reason:

Gov. Lingle stated, a civil union “is essentially ‘marriage’ by another name,” adding, “I want to be clear that my personal opinion is not the basis” for her decision; Lingle does not personally believe gay marriage should be legal. There is no piece of legislation she has thought “more deeply about” than HB 444, but ultimately it is voters and not lawmakers who should have the final say. I feel very comfortable with my decision.”
