Marriage equality legislation was introduced in Hawaii's House and Senate this morning, HRC reports:
If successful, Hawaii would be the 10th state in the union to allow the marriage for all couples, regardless of whom they love.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Baehr v. Lewin, the Hawaii State Supreme Court opinion that sparked our nation's marriage equality movement. In the opinion, Justice Steven Levinson said, “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor be denied the equal protection of the laws, nor be denied the enjoyment of the person's civil rights or be discriminated against in the exercise thereof because of race, religion, sex or ancestry.”
