Enough!

Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii Foundation (ACLU) announced Feb. 1 that they are planning legal action against the state of Hawai'i following last Friday's failure by the Hawaii Legislature to enact a law providing broad legal rights and duties to the state's lesbian and gay couples.
The decision - after months of collaboration with Equality Hawaiii - came after Hawaii's House of Representatives killed the bill by an anonymous voice vote last Friday.
"Enough is enough. Infinite patience in the face of discrimination is irresponsible," said Jennifer C. Pizer, Marriage Project Director for Lambda Legal. "Because the Legislature has ducked its responsibility multiple sessions in a row, we have no choice now but to bring our clients' legal claims to court."
