Talk:Hawaii House Bill 444

Dead link
Hi. I removed the dead link and reference to KGMB and used the number of people at the vigil from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. There's a full archive for KGMB stories on their website, but no sign of this story. Viriditas (talk) 10:49, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I should have archived it, especially after I archived so much else. Hekerui (talk) 11:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that's the strange thing. All of the archived stories from March are online.  Do you think it might have been a different publisher? Viriditas (talk) 11:18, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

same-sex?
The first phrase of the article is:

"House Bill 444 (abbreviated H.B. 444) was a 2009 bill that would have legalized civil unions in the state of Hawaii."

Shouldn't it mention same-sex civil unions, or something conveying this meaning? Or is it right as it is? I didn't edit the article, because I wasn't sure...

 * Thank you for pointing that out. The bill as it stands states that one of the requirements to enter a civil union would be that both partners would be of the same sex. Cheers, obento  musubi  01:55, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

List of votes in the Senate
I removed the list of votes because Wikipedia isn't a directory for votes and the votes for every Senator are easily accessible via the provided link to the measure history. Hekerui (talk) 00:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
