Jeff – if by ancient you mean 2004 then they are ancient – and thank you for commenting that my marriage is ancient – my husband and I were married the day before that picture was taken.

Aside from the small-mindedness of the protestors, don’t think Hawaii is so great when it comes to health benefits. Many, many jobs here are structured to make sure employees never work more than 19 hours a week. Lots of jobs here that would otherwise be full-time are instead shared by two or more workers. It is very common for many workers to have 2 or 3 jobs because many employers refuse to employ full-time. One can imagine the challenges of maintaining schedules with 3 jobs as part-time work often requires employees to be flexible and work is scheduled at the whim of the employer. Great in theory, not so much in practice.

This is a weird comment, but is that really a picture of the protesters, cause they have Ancient cell phones…

The opposition to gay rights is not out of ignorance. It is out of hate. These fundamentalists are no different than the radical clerics and their brain dead followers in Muslim countries.
