Hawaii’s House Friday, prompted perhaps by election year fears, voted to postpone any action in 2010 on a civil-unions act that would have afforded same sex and opposite sex couples the same rights, privileges, and responsibilities as those allotted opposite sex marriage couples. The Senate last week, as previously posted, approved the measure with a two-thirds veto-proof majority, but the House opted for a voice vote that effectively ends any and all movement on the bill. Hawaii’s governor, Linda Lingle, seemed to suggest that the pro-gay proposal was not an urgent issue, saying “I understand there are real strong feelings on both sides, and so people would like to just get it settled, and get it resolved. I have felt from the beginning of this year that we needed to keep a clear focus on the economy. I’ glad we can just stay focused on that. There’s still the issue of our schools and the furlough issue out there, so we have some really serious things we need to work on together.”
In Utah Friday, an election year “compromise” by three Democrat legislators, approved by House and Senate leaders, to drop intentions for state-wide anti-discrimination ordinances, adoption and probate rights for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered until 2011 in order to protect and prevent an attack by Republicans on recently passed similar measures in Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County.
