Do you live there? How do you know Hawaii is gay friendly?

I don't think the cop acted appropriately in how the physical altercation happened. From my understanding he grabbed her arm which started the confrontation.
I can't say I blame him as they were provoking him, but legally he was in the wrong.
But, it's obvious that he wasn't discriminating and the women were a public nuisance. I'm sure he would have done the same thing to a hetero couple that were acting like that in a public place.
If it had been a hetero couple, you can be sure that it wouldn't have made national news.

Do you feel compelled to disagree with me about everything for some reason? I mean, I was truly impressed with your ability to turn my comments on women not feeling poorly about themselves into something that was an affront to you on a personal level somehow, but your shtick is getting old.
I was stationed there and have visited several times. Though I'm sure you'll manage to disagree with that somehow.
My post: Do you live there? How do you know Hawaii is gay friendly? Doesn't seem that way to me following their politics.

I visit the islands often enough. I have throughout my life. I just got back from a trip to Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. It probably depends on the island but I would say they are not as gay-friendly as that person makes it out to be.

I've been following gay equality for about 20 years and Hawaii's conservative anti-gay politics surprised me. It's just not what I expected.
Out of curiosity, did you not suspect it because Hawaii is dominated by the Democrat party?

Thank you for telling me what my response to your questions was. Since I wrote it, I didn't need that, but the effort is appreciated.
I answered your questions. Directly. And asked some of my own. Admittedly, I don't and didn't pay much attention to their political dealings. Since my experiences in Hawaii are personal, I can't give you web addresses to support my personal experience.
Oh well.

I am not a Democrat. Never have been, never will be. Never took notice of parties, only actions.
I fully respect that. I just figured that the Democrat party and conservative politics were diametrically opposed.

Would you argue the Democrats in Hawaii are conservative? I ask because I have no clue.
