Hawaii: Lingle vetoes civil unions bill, ACLU plans suitHonolulu Star Advertiser: “Gov. Linda Lingle vetoed a civil-unions bill yesterday after concluding it was the equivalent to marriage, which she believes should be reserved for a man and a woman. But Lingle described the emotional issue as too important to be decided solely by the governor or the state Legislature and recommended a state constitutional amendment be placed on the ballot for voters in 2012.” | Lingle’s Statement of Objections to HB 444 | Lingle’s HB444 Statement | HB 444
