Today the Governor of Hawaii took a courageous stand by vetoing SB444, a bill that, if signed, would have essentially elevated same-sex relationships to the same legal status as traditional marriage.

Here's the text of her veto remarks: http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/97909114.html

PG, that was a very well put blog. We might see the government's role in marriage a bit differently. But, that was as sound of an explanation as I've seen anybody, anywhere offer up even if we do have a different basic assumption about the role of government. It makes practical sense, it is simple, and it explains truthfully the way we have organized our lives around certain principles.
