It’s still a month until Christmas, so good news! You’ve still got 30 days of wiggle room to find a passable gift for your mother, who will then make you take it back to the store to exchange it for the store credit. (Isn’t that right, Maureen?) While X-mas may be weeks away, that hasn’t quelled the giving spirit of a few gay rights advocates.
As you might remember, Hawaii legalized same-sex marriage last week, passing the bill in a 30 to 19 vote. While the LGBT community won out, the 19 lawmakers who voted against gay marriage ended up getting a little something for their efforts.
According to Towleroad, an anonymous source sent lumps of coal to the 19 people who voted against bill SB1, with a note attached saying, “You left a piece of your heart at the State Building when you voted on SB-1 . . . Your lifestyle choice of judging others and ignorance is very unfortunate. Good luck in the next election.”
