Hawaii Surprise: Civil Unions Approved.
Who saw this coming? The path to gay marriage began in Hawaii way back in 1993, with a state Supreme Court decision. Five years later, a popular vote placed a ban on same sex unions. Since then, the supporters of marriage equality have launched repeated attempts to get civil unions approved, but have struggled even to bring it to a vote. A determined push last year fizzled out, and this year looked to be headed the same way - until this week, when a last minute decision on the final day of the session brought success.
Cross fingers now, that the Republican governor does not veto it.
From the Honolulu Advertiser:
Historic civil-unions bill gets House OK
State House lawmakers yesterday approved a bill that would give same-sex and heterosexual couples the ability to enter into civil unions and enjoy the same rights as married couples under state law. The 31-20 vote followed an improbable decision by state House Majority Leader Blake Oshiro, the bill's sponsor, to revive civil unions on the last day of the 60-day session. The House, focusing primarily on the state's budget deficit and concerned about the influence of civil unions on election year politics, had indefinitely postponed action on the bill after it passed the state Senate in January.
Earlier this week, Oshiro said he would not bring back the bill but indicated that others might. He said he decided on Wednesday evening, when it became clear that another lawmaker would try to force a vote, that he should be the one to make the motion.
The bill now goes to Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican, who has not said whether she would sign, veto or allow the bill to become law without her signature.

Gay Marriage in Church: Iceland Considers.
As marriage equality has spread steadily around the globe, in most countries this has been restricted to civil marriage only: church weddings are excluded. The exception is the Nordic region, where the Swedish government and the Swedish Lutheran Church have both approved same sex weddings in church. In Denmark, where there process is under way to upgrade the present civil unions to full marriage, the Danish Lutheran church is currently considering following in the path already seet by their Swedish Lutheran counterparts. Now it seems that the Icelandic Lutheran church is likewise considering the same decision.
In the Swedish precedent, it was the provision in the law for church wedding that forced the church into serious consideration of the issue: there are strong institutional links between the Swedish state and the Lutheran church (which used to be funded directly by government). Similar circumstances, and similar provisions in the laws proposed by Denmark and Iceland, are the reason the churches in those countries are also having to consider a response. The Swedish solution was to approve gay marriage in church - but to leave an opt-out clause in place that would protect individual pastors, who may decline, in conscience, to officiate.
From Ice News:.
Icelandic church delays decision on gay marriage.
The National Church of Iceland yesterday took no formal position on a current parliamentary bill which would amend marriage laws to include gay couples. The national synod instead voted to refer the matter to the church’s doctrine and rites committee.
The new unified marriage bill being proposed by Iceland’s Minister of Justice and Human Rights could become law as early as 27th June this year and would allow religious groups, including the national church, to legally marry same sex couples. Religious groups are already able to bless registered partnerships which are almost identical to marriage, legally speaking.
An oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico
An oil slick the size of 78 to 128 km, resulting from man-made disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, moved to the very coast of the United States. Yesterday, there were already 34 kilometers from the coast of Louisiana and is projected to the U.S. weather service can now reach the shore.
An explosion on a floating drilling platform located in 210 kilometers southeast of New Orleans (Louisiana), there was a week ago. Shortly after the explosion, the platform on which at the time of the accident employed 126 people, sank. 17 people in the accident were injured, 11 are still unaccounted for. The collapse of the BP oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico about 80 km from the coast of Louisiana was more dangerous than initially estimated. Oil continues to gush at depth, and the cessation of leakage may take another three months. On Wednesday, the Coast Guard conducted several controlled fires as possible damage to the coast considered more serious than the environmental damage from the smoke of burning in a sea of oil. Stop the leakage of oil from wells at a depth of 1.5 km so far failed.
According to earlier reports on the release of 1000 barrels of oil a day, but now found a new source of the leak and it is already estimated at 5000 barrels (800,000 liters) per day, said yesterday at a news conference, Rear Admiral U.S. Coast Guard, Mary Landry. The head of the Canadian company to fight the fires in the oil fields of Safety Boss, Mike Miller, the BBC said that a catastrophe comparable in scale with the fires in Kuwait during the Gulf War of 1991 and the sinking of the tanker Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989, BP daily spends $ 6 million for clean-up and attempts to stop the leakage by four underwater robots.
