From Hawaii to Texas...can you hear wedding bells ringing?


"The marriage equality wave is washing onto shores on four continents and Oceania all around the world," said Levinson, who urged Hawaii to catch the wave.

Marriage Equality pushed forward in the Aloha State today as Senators of The Judicial and Labor Committee voted 5-2 to push Marriage Equality to a full Senate vote, where it is likely to pass. Passage of the Governor backed Senate Bill SB 1 is likely in the Senate but questionable in the house.

Meanwhile in Illinois an equality rally happened this past weekend to push legislators in a special veto session to pass Marriage Equality there. Passage in Illinois is still debatable.

Two Texas couples sued their state and questioned Texas' marriage equality ban on Monday, opening the doors to begin the process of getting full equality in the US' second most populated state.

Texas is far off, Illinois may happen by the end of the year, but it looks like our eyes turn to Hawai'i where the Senate could vote as early as Halloween. What a delicious present that would be, now wouldn't it?
