So what's the deal? I always thought Hawaii was this laid back balmy vacation land where everything was groovy.
Then, what's with their governor, Linda Lingle? She vetoed the legislation that would allow same-sex couples the same rights and benefits that the state provides married couples, "ending months of speculation on how she would weigh in on the contentious, emotional debate."
Hawaii? That surprised me. But I didn't know anything about Linda Lingle, so I googled her. Not only is she the first female governor of Hawaii, she's the first Republican since 1962 and the first Jewish governor. She has been married and divorced twice and has no children.
From what I read, my take is that her "contentious and emotionless life" influenced her complete lack of empathy for the gay community. How did Hawaii, of all places, end up with her as governor?
