LGBT rights in Hawaii
rights of LGBT people in Hawaii
Hawaii has a law that addresses hate crime protection for both actual and/or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.
According to statute:
- Sexual orientation is defined as heterosexuality, homosexuality or bisexuality and those "having a history of any one or more of these preferences or being identified with any one or more of these preferences."[1]
- "'Gender identity or expression' includes a person's actual or perceived gender, as well as a person's gender identity, gender-related self image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression; regardless of whether that gender identity, gender-related self image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression is different from that traditionally associated with the person's sex at birth."[2]
