Results of Poll Re: Civil Unions

Hi Tim,

I just had a phone conversation with Mary at

the Marriage License office on Punchbowl St.   

She says,  1. Is a ceremony required?  YES

2. Is a minister's signature required?   YES

Yikes, It's pretty much the same as what's

involved with a marriage.

There's a lot about it in today's Honolulu Star

Advertiser...  "The law grants all couples 

regardless of sex the ability to enter into 

a civil union, a legal status with the rights

, benefits, protections and responsibilities 

of traditional marriage."

Right now I'm also learning about the concept

and what's involved.  Not sure where I stand

at this point, and glad I haven't had an 

inquiry as yet. I'm also relieved that this

doesn't go into effect until January 2, 2012. 

That's the first day the paper work can be done.

Thanks for asking Tim.
