Fake marriage flop…

HONOLULU (AP) – After deliberating for weeks, Hawaii’s governor has vetoed a bill that would have permitted same-sex civil unions.

Tuesday’s veto came on the final day that Republican Gov. Linda Lingle had to either sign or veto the contentious bill. The Hawaii Legislature had approved it in late April.

Had Lingle not vetoed it, the measure would have granted gay and lesbian couples the same rights and benefits that the state provides to married couples.

It also would have made Hawaii one of six states that essentially grant the rights of marriage to same-sex couples without authorizing marriage itself. Five other states and the District of Columbia permit same-sex marriage.

Earlier Tuesday, supporters waved rainbow flags in front of the state Capitol. Opponents prayed in the hallways for a veto.

    Just goes to show how little is standing between full fake marriage rights for gays in many states; just a few people in states like Hawaii are willing to stand up and do the right thing. If it weren’t for Rep. Gov. Pawlenty in Minnesota, the Demons in the legislature would have done it already.

    From now on, I’m calling Democrats Demons, because that’s what they remind me of more than anything else. They just can’t help but do as much evil as possible.
