Hawaii's Republican Gov. Linda Lingle to let bigots decide fate of fellow citizens

Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, 2 time divorced and defender of marriage...

Hawaii's governor ended months of speculation by vetoing contentious civil unions legislation that would have granted gay, lesbian and opposite-sex couples the same rights and benefits that the state provides to married couples....

...Lingle said voters should decide the fate of civil unions, not politicians.

"The subject of this legislation has touched the hearts and minds of our citizens as no other social issue of our day," she said. "It would be a mistake to allow a decision of this magnitude to be made by one individual or a small group of elected officials."


Yup, let people vote on civil rights.

Fuck you Miss Lingle.
