The marriage equality movement started in Hawaii in 1993 and last night things came full circle, with this state becoming the 16th to support all marriages

I am thrilled that the Aloha state has extended its warm embrace to it LGBT citizens. What a capper to a thrilling week in which Illinois passed marriage equality and ENDA passed the U.S. Senate!

The victory in Hawaii is especially sweet since the marriage equality movement started there.  From Wikipedia:

Baehr v. Miike (originally Baehr v. Lewin) was a case decided by the Supreme Court of Hawaii, which found the state's refusal to grant same-sex couples marriage licenses discriminatory. In 1991, three same-sex couples sued Hawaii Director of Health John C. Lewin in his official capacity, seeking to force the state to issue them marriage licenses. After the case was dismissed by the trial court the couples appealed to the state supreme court. In the plurality opinion delivered by Judge Steven H. Levinson in 1993, the court ruled that while the right to privacy in the Hawaii state constitution does not include a fundamental right to same-sex marriage, denying marriage to same-sex couples constituted discrimination based on sex in violation of the right to equal protection guaranteed by the state's constitution.

Change is happening!
