Hasn't gay marraige been legal in Hawaii for awhile?

A resounding NO! The courts tried their flavor of judicial tyranny in Hawaii and were brought to task by a constitutional amendment at the behest of the common folk, that's us.

No. Hawaii was the first state targeted by gay activists in their quest to use the courts to impose gay marriage on the nation. Hawaii has a very liberal and aggressive state supreme court, and it ordered gay marriage to be legalized there. But the gambit failed because the voters overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment to specifically ban gay marriage.

They then tried the same thing in Alaska, another state with an aggressive leftist court, but the voters did the same thing as in Hawaii and amended the state constitution.

Massachusetts is the latest state where the gambit has been tried. In this case, the ruling was timed so as to make it impossible for the voters to amend the constitution in time to stop gay marriage licenses from being issued. There is also the possibility there that a few members of the legislature will prevent the issue from going before the voters at all.

The goal is to judicially engineer gay marriage in one state, and then use the full faith & credit clause of the U.S. Constitution to force the other 49 states to comply. So far the gambit has been blocked in Hawaii and Alaska, but in Massachusetts the court and a few politicians have tried to rig things so as to make popular opposition to the ruling impossible.
