It's election season. I don't know why I pay attention to this stuff. It's obvious, that as a gay man, I'm going to be voting for the party that believes I should be able to marry the consenting adult of my choice. It's still frustrating to hear Republicans run away from social issues by claiming "it's not that topic that people come to talk to me about when I'm at my office." At least Linda Lingle had the decency to reply to an email I sent to her office not long ago.

Aloha Brian,

Governor Lingle’s personal belief is that marriage is between a man and woman, but once individual states decide how they define marriage, I think those decisions should be respected by the federal government. Therefore, she would not oppose repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.

Mahalo for your questions and we look forward to hearing more from you in the future.

What happened to Republican values that I keep hearing about? What happened to the Golden Rule? If someone (or a group of someones) doesn't treat you equally in the social realm, do you think they're somehow more likely to treat you equally in any other? Sorry... my logic just can't make that leap.
