Bill just called back. Seems that C-SPAN and their radio affiliate announced the program before contacting him. It will aired from 6am to 7am, HST (on Channel 60 in Honolulu, Channel 22 on Kaua`i, unsure of elsewhere in the state). At this point, I am unsure of the extent of the broadcast, if it will be available on the mainland, etc. Look for an update from Bill later today which I will broadcast.

Woods, MPH has been referred to as “The father of Hawaii’s Gay rights movement” and “the person most responsible for putting Gay marriage on the local and national Gay rights agenda.”* Woods initiated the same-sex marriage issue by conceptualizing the issues and lawsuit, solicited the three couples to be plaintiffs, and hired the attorney to construct and file the lawsuit.
