For several years it has been part of a coalition of states opposed to same sex marriage. On Feb. 12 the attorneys for the coalition notified Hawaii's Supreme Court of the California's action. That official notice, as well as all the most recent briefs, can be found at Just click the "Legal" button to go to the table of recent briefs and communications. Also, on the main web page, just below the title "Marriage Project Hawaii" is a link for upcoming GLBT community events in Hawaii. That table of upcoming events will be updated every Wednesday. Please contact Shawn Bombard at kuaana@hawaii.edu to have an event listed. Hawaii's Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed considering a bill banning discrimination in housing and public accommodations to Feb. 19, 9 am. The House Labor Committee has approved that bill (with amendments). The House bill now goes to the House Judiciary Committee. The MPH Team
