POLITICAL CARTOON by Dick Adair, Honolulu Advertiser, page A12


Two caricatures of Sen. Avery Chumbley and Representative Terrance Tom each
holding documents entitled "Senate Same-Sex Marriage Bill" and "House
Same-Sex Marriage Bill" respectively.  Both are standing, backs towards each
other, in front of a Judge's Bench, with the Judge lamenting "If you two
can't reconcile your differences, your only solution is divorce!"

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   "Some people have suggested reversing the Supreme Court's decision by
  tinkering with the equal protection or sex discrimination clause of our
    Constitution.   Such an amendment is unnecessary, and this proposal 
   offends my sense of fairness to all our citizens.   Any campaign that
     seeks to isolate a portion of our people from the benefits of our 
  Constitution would be both mean spirited and divisive to our community."

                         --Hawai`i State Representative Terrance Tom, 1993
