Here's a list about Hawaii, similar to the Texas thingy that Toobworm did:
It's normally 70-85 degrees (I think; I'm just estimating), but it seems hotter as it's rather humid. Hawaii is all border, so we do have cults. Sorta. What we have are unusual (for the mainland) religions, such as Dao-ism and Shinto-ism, thanks to the large population of Asians (something like 60%), and, even if you go to Honolulu, even just by driving around, you can see shrines and temples with Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese characters on them. Our population of Christians (Christ-stains) is rather small, compared to the rest of the United States, but there are a couple of Christian radio stations, along with a jpop and kpop station (on O'ahu). Our governor is concentrating on fixing the roads, which have gone without repair for quite a while.
List of sites to see (I can only advise you on O'ahu, the other islands I haven't been to yet):
Beaches -- no, duh. Don't go to Waikiki or Hanauma Bay; they are degraded because of the amount of tourists. If you go in the summer, go to Pupukea, which has sea turtles. Don't go in the water on the North Shore during the winter unless you want to drown.
Food -- not something that you merely want to see. There are lots of food trucks; you have to go and eat garlic shrimp. Chinatown, if you can make it past the homeless (...erecting more homeless shelters will just attract them), has good Chinese food. Don't expect any good Mexican food; California has better (along with good Indian food).
Helpful things: Pronunciation of Hawaiian: thanks to a new law, all new streets MUST be named in Hawaiian, which is pretty much a dead language. All vowels are pronounced consistently, but you might see clusters of them like "Aiea", which is pronounced "i-a-ah". Another note: the Likelike highway is pronounced "lee-kay-lee-kay", not "like-like". Don't dilly-dally when reading the map because of difficultly in pronouncing Hawaiian. Any time that there is an apostrophe, you DO NOT combine the vowels.
Always remember to put on sunscreen.
Remember that no matter how large the cockroach, you are far more scared of it that it is of you. We have cockroaches that are black, fly, and divebomb people. We also have cane spiders, which are large, non-venomous spiders that are fuzzy and rather cute. They lurk in tall grass and occasionally bathrooms (the bathroom thing ESPECIALLY applies to cockroaches).
The public bathrooms are gross.
If the state flag looks like the lovechild of the US flag and UK flag, that's because it is.
Concerning Hawaii and gay people -- haven't a clue. Some people don't care, some people are very vocal about their opinion, and some people are gay. There is some overlap between those groups.
