Gay Rights Advocates React to Lingle Run

By /
Gay rights advocates have been swift to cover the news of Gov. Linda Lingle‘s U.S. Senate candidacy.

As governor, Lingle vetoed a bill that would have allowed Hawaii couples to enter into civil unions. (Her successor, Neil Abercrombie, signed a civil unions measure into law this year.)

LGBTQ-focused publications that picked up the news of Lingle’s candidacy — and reminded readers of her civil unions veto — included the Advocate, Queerty and others.
