Hawaii's House of Representative passed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage by a vote of 30-19. The Senate already passed it by 20-4, and it only has to go back to them for final approval of some amendments made in the House.
The governor has said he will sign it, and it is scheduled to take effect on December 2nd. Hawaii will become the 16th state, plus the District of Columbia, to uphold marriage equality. New Mexico is in the court on appeal.
Things are changing fast. One year ago, there were 8 plus DC. Now there are 16 plus DC, with New Jersey, Illinois, and Hawaii all happening in the last week.
