Hawaii Could Have Marriage Equality By Thanksgiving.
HONOLULU -- Hawaii could begin issuing licenses and performing ceremonies for gay couples on Nov. 18 if a bill passes during a special session that begins next week.
A Senate draft of the bill to be considered starting Monday says couples would be able to obtain licenses and be married the same day.

The Legislature has begun accepting testimony on the bill, which will be introduced Monday morning and immediately referred to the Judiciary Committee.
