There's some non-Prop 8 trial marriage equality news today coming out of Indiana and Hawaii.
First up, Indiana:
A constitutional amendment that would ban marriage equality in Indiana has been introduced into the state senate. The measure has been introduced in Indiana's House of Representatives before, where it passed one chamber before failing in the next. Though experts believe the discriminatory amendment will pass the senate, it is unlikely it'll make it out of the state house again, where democrats haven't allowed it to survive in the past.
And in Hawaii:
The civil union bill that went nowhere last year in Hawaii might be up for vote again this week in the state. The possibility drew thousands of protestors to rally against equality yesterday, which some speculate as the reason the bill stalled in 2009.
