HI: Civil Unions Bill to Be Debated This Month

State senators told KITV they expect to approve a civil unions bill shortly after the legislative session starts this month. The bill to give gay couples most of the benefits of marriage remains alive in the Senate after failing to move out of the Judiciary Committee last year. Opponents are gearing up to fight legalizing gay unions at a rally at the state Capitol Jan. 17. Gay partners said they are mounting their own campaigns to make sure the bill is approved. Supporters of civil unions said they hope a new exhibit featuring portraits of gay families will emphasize they share the same joys and sorrows as straight families.
