Hawaii: State House begins 5th day of testimony on marriage equality

And while Illinois House prepares to vote on marriage equality, the FIFTH day of public testimonies has begun in the Hawaii House, where anti-gay groups are continuing their "people's filibuster" to run out the clock on the special legislative session by sending thousands of batshit crazy Bible-clutchers to speak.

Lawmakers have already heard from all 5,184 people who signed up, but they're making their way through a second wave of people who missed their chance to speak the first time their numbers were called. After getting all the way to testifier #3,200 tonight -- officials decided to recess and will continue the hearing tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10:30 a.m. with testifier #3,201. If possible, officials say they intend to complete decision making tomorrow. If they vote yes, it will advance the bill to the House floor for a second reading. If they vote no, it will kill the bill.
