Allie, 

While it is true that the Ali'i supported the kapu - especially Queen Kaahumanu and Kamehameha II- it cannot be said that every Hawaiian did. I wonder how many Hawaiians had a broken heart over 1820, especially the working class who were just trying to get by and trying to make sense of the new order. I don't deplore the Protestant Christian values the missionaries brought to our islands-  what I deplore is the taking away the choice for people at the time to not to live by traditional Hawaiian values if that is what they chose. Falling in love with someone of the same-gender relationship went from being an accepted part of Hawaiian society before kapu, to being illegal with possible arrest, prison time and social outcast; all within a very short space of time, and without a lot of public discussion or a vote. A lot of broken hearts and broken spirits.................
