> HAWAII GOVERNOR?S VETO OF CIVIL UNIONS BILL ?A DISGRACE?



WASHINGTON, July 6 - Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle today vetoed a bill that would have granted same-sex and opposite-sex couples the right to enter into civil unions. The legislation passed the state House on April 29 by a 31?20 vote and the state Senate on Jan. 22 by an 18?7 vote.

Statement by Rea Carey, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force

"Governor Lingle's veto of legislation that would protect and strengthen Hawaii's families is beyond a disappointment: It is a disgrace. Hawaii's lawmakers passed this bill because it was about fundamental fairness. The governor's action today flies in the face of both common sense and common humanity. We urge the Hawaii Legislature to override this veto."
