Illinois Marriage Equality Merry-Go-Round

Posted on February 3, 2013 by | 1 Comment

IllinoisWell, here we go again, and my enthusiasm is still high for the upcoming vote on Marriage Equality in Illinois, and to think, on Valentines Day! 

Back in late December, I posted something similar, regarding an earlier vote that ended up failing to reach the floor, due to absent supporters in the lame duck session, and now, according to an article over at Huffington Post Chicago, it looks even more promising that it will pass.  There are a lot of issues in Illinois, that put it in a bad light, Corruption, Corporate Tax Rates, and it’s huge deficit.

Thankfully it doesn’t look like it happen, and when civil unions do pass Catholic Charities’ rule of ‘married couples only’ will be exposed for the sham it is.
