Hawaii is preparing for the arrival of thousands of same-sex couples planning to welcome 2012 by taking advantage of the state’s new civil unions law, which goes into effect January 1, 2012. Civil unions are expected to be an economic boon to the state.
Hawaii has a long history when it comes to same-sex marriage. The state Supreme Court first legalized same-sex marriage two decades ago, but voters overturned it with a constitutional ban five years later.
Since then Hawaiians have struggled to gain some sort of legal recognition for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) relationships. Until this year, each attempt was squashed by legislators.
Hawaii extended the aloha spirit this year to civil unions and wedding planners are anxiously awaiting the stroke of midnight on December 31 when lesbian and gay couples take advantage of the new law, which was signed by Governor Neil Abercrombie (D) in February.

On New Year’s Eve, if all goes according to plan, hundreds of LGBT couples will say, “I do,” on Waikiki Beach as fireworks ignite in the sky over Honolulu.
“I think that it will be great for our economy,” said one wedding planner. “It’s the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”
Wedding planners are ready to extend the aloha spirit on Maui along with all the other Hawaiian islands.
