(CNN) - Hawaii's legislature gave final passage to a measure Tuesday to make it the 16th American state to legalize same-sex marriage.
"With today's vote, Hawaii joins a growing number of states that recognize that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters should be treated fairly and equally under the law," President Obama, a native Hawaiian, said in a statement.

It's a shame this has to be done one state at a time. Well, at least it's getting done.
Dear Mr. Duke,
Your article above is incorrect. I adore President Obama, but he is not a native Hawaiian. President Obama was born in Hawai'i, but to be classified as a native Hawaiian, you must have ancestral lineage to the indigenous people of the islands, and he does not. Please correct your article.
Thank You,
Jon Santos
