HHHRC is proud to be a founding member of the coalition to change the outdated discriminatory Section 23 added to HawaiÊ»i's Constitution a generation ago. Remove the HawaiÊ»i legislature’s authority to limit marriage to opposite-sex couples. Let's make sure HawaiÊ»i remains an inclusive and welcoming place for all loving couples.
