                                 Gay Marriage Passed By Senate

          Its official! The marriage fairness act passed 34-21 in the IL senate. Now citizens must wait for the house of Representatives to vote. This will make it 100% legal in the state of Illinois to marry a man or a woman. Just yesterday Mayor Emanuel tweeted a poem " Roses are Red violets are blue you can marry a woman and even a dude"(official Tweet 2203). This is big news in this state, if the marriage act is passed by the house it would make many happy and make IL a more desirable place to live! Also attracting more and more LBGT people to our great state. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton stated the the house should vote yes on the matter and that IL is becoming less second world with the new prospected act. This will make many happy in our great state. Thousands could soon be able to be legally bound with there lovers. To all my followers.... what are your thoughts? Do you think the House should vote yes or no? Any general feedback wanted*******
