Hawaii is close to having civil unions, the house has just passed the bill and now it is up to the senate. In order for the bill to come up for a vote it needs to advance through the committee.
On the six-member committee, 3 are supportive, 2 against and one who has been against but is now a swing vote.
Sen. Robert Bunda, D-22nd (North Shore, Wahiawa) said he needs to get a better understanding of the legislation and will consider it even though he has been opposed to same-sex unions in the past.
Please contact Mr. Bunda and politely urge him to support civil unions, remind him that his election is historic as being the first Filipino to attain the presidency of any state legislature and that he should stand up for diversity and equality.

Take a minute to call, write or e-mail Senator Bunda. Wouldn't you feel happier taking a trip to Hawaii if they recognized same-sex civil unions there? Hawaii is supposed to be paradise -- and you can't be paradise without equality!
