Hawaii legalizes same-sex marriage

Good news: Today, the Hawaii state Senate passed legislation allowing same-sex marriage in that state. The state House passed the bill last Friday.

The bill is now on its way to Governor Neil Abercrombie's desk. Abercrombie, a Democrat, has indicated that he will sign the bill.

With this measure, Hawaii will become the 15th U.S. state (plus District of Columbia) to legalize same-sex marriage.

35 more states to go.
