Illinois Approves Same Sex Marriage

The Illinois General Assembly “narrowly approved a gay marriage bill, clearing the way for Illinois to become the 15th state to legalize same-sex unions,” the Chicago Tribune reports.

“The bill got 61 votes in the House, one more than the bare minimum needed to send the measure back to the Senate, which quickly signed off. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn has said he would sign the bill into law should it reach his desk.”
