Lambda Legal, ACLU sue Hawaii over civil unions
The Honolulu Star Advertiser: “Smith and Taylor, 29, are among six couples suing the state, alleging it has failed to provide equal rights to gays and lesbians short of marriage. The lawsuit, being filed today in Circuit Court, asks the court to step in where the Legislature did not and reverse the effect of Lingle’s veto. ‘We’re seeking to secure equal legal protections and legal responsibilities for same-sex couples under the civil law,’ said Jennifer Pizer, an attorney for Lambda Legal, one of three co-counsels filing the complaint.” | Lambda Press Release | Complaint in Young v.
