Hawaii Says Aloha To Same-Sex Unions

In the Hawaiian language, 'Aloha' can mean either hello or goodbye depending on the context that it is used. Aloha is the most accurate word to describe the state of the decisions to allow civil unions for same-sex couples in the state of Hawaii. Although the State House already passed it, there is a chance it can be denied in the Senate, which is currently in a deadlock with the committee divided. The vote is set to take place Tuesday on whether or not this decision will be passed. Since it's announcement, religious groups have begun buying television airtime and have erected blogs to announce the evils in passing such bill (of course).

Could Hawaii be the next state to allow same-sex civil unions, joining the list along with Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Vermont? Only time will tell.
