Inclusivity and Diversity
Thank you for considering me to join in your special day here on Hawaiʻi Island. Same-sex marriage became legal in Hawaiʻi in 2013. Same-sex marriage became legal in the United States of America in June 2016.
I am honored to stand with those in the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community. My sincere desire is for every person to live freely within their sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your story. ~Eric
