Hawaii Police Union President's Shocking Testimony Against Same-Sex Marriage

[RandySF]

That honor went to Tenari Maafala, the President of Hawaii’s police union and an active police officer with the Honolulu Police Department, who testified that he would never enforce a law requiring same-sex marriage.

“You would have to kill me,” he told the lawmakers.

Maafala said that same-sex marriage is contrary to his religious views and, “I stand by my beliefs."

Maafala went on to say that the state should address homelessness and drugs rather than same-sex marriage and that denying gay couples the right to marry is not discrimination if it’s against one's beliefs.
