I too consider myself as a Native Hawaiian of the island of Moloka’i. I love learning my Hawaiian Culture and at forty years am starting to learn my own language, something that was taken from us wrongfully. I too dont judge people by their color, religion as well as sexaul orientation. When it comes to Ke Akua, i feel our culture is the closest to his his ways and his language. that sounds conceded, I know, but We “no moa bad kine words” in our language like other language do, you know the “F” word and all the pilau stuffs. We are a people of love, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! we love no matter what…. God has the last say. And in this issue of civil union rights, We need to honor Ke Akua, and show respect for him, his creations, his laws, we are his children. Like a wise parent that wants his child to learn the values of respect, love, civility, malama, ha’aha’a and a pela aku, so does Ke Akua, but his love is greater and we as humans can not fully comprehend, except a handful, his love for us, but to believe in it and be guided by it and and learn of it and share it with everyone. I am one voice right now, alone, literally. but many that stand for what is truth. We are created in the image of God, and his plan for us is to be a family, with a loving mommy, and daddy as the head of the household. I dont judge you as a person or human. I have lots of friend that are Gays and I love them because they are my friends. But I stand up to them when it comes to civil rights. Yes you have every right to fight for your happiness. I oppose the civil rights union. this will take the freedom away from others that want to practice what is civil. This will be a catalyst for other immoral acts to claim their acts as moral if they have a good reason. I need to speak out as much as you came out, and that took alot of courage on your part. But Ke Akua is real….His son Jesus Christ is real, This I know in my “na’au” that there will be natural calamities that will incur if this bill is passed. God speed.
