Rally Against HB 444 on February 22



Hawaii Family Forum
and the Concerned Citizens of Hawaii will be holding a rally at the State Capitol on Sunday, February 22, 2009 starting at 2:00 p.m. The rally is being staged to protest HB 444 which would allow civil union benefit for gay couples. If the bill becomes law it will trample Hawaii's marriage definition law describing marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Hawaii voters allowed this to become law by a nearly 70% margin in the 1998 elections.
Update: Feb. 21 - HB 444 will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, February 24 in the State Capitol Auditorium starting at 9:00 a.m.

Why can't opponents of civil unions STOP mixing the issue up with marriage = marriage is a religious issue, civil unions is a secular one. It is a contract to allow people to be treated equally. Please do not combine the tow!

The issue of civil unions is a societal issue. What happens in the secular area still affects our society.

We are concerned about the effects this will have on the morality of our State.

I am not "holier than thou", I am just a sinner saved by His grace. However I am concerned when man (mankind) wants to decide for himself what is right and wrong and not let God decide what is right and wrong.
