Now I am jumping the gun a bit, since the senate still needs to pass it and the Governor needs to sign it. But last time this bill was around the senate had passed it and Quinn says he will sign it when it comes to him, the house was the only bit of trouble, so now everything is a forgone conclusion.

Bravo, state I once called home, bravo. Now we only need for the others to legalize

YES YES

You think when this stuff passes, that "anti gay marriage" people cry themselves to sleep that night?

Why are people happy about this? Dirty fags destroying the Christian institution of marriage. Disgusting what this country now considers "normal" and "acceptable", because fags are certainly neither of those in God's eyes. I look forward to Judgement Day when all of the gays are sent to hell to be rammed by Satan's giant monster cock. But, really, would that be such a punishment for those dirty fudge packers?

One state at a time.

I hope it gets passed in all 50 states. It should have been a looong time ago.
-
Now change the term to civil union and let marriage be a ceremony term for religious institutions
-
Gay marriage legalized. All Christian couples must now get divorced as their marriage means nothing.

Well that's a mistake.

THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!! That movie World War G is becoming truer and truer each day.

If only weed was legalizing this quickly.

What would happen if gays got secretly married where it's illegal?
-
Good, now they need to ban heterosexual marriage.
-
Am I the only one who doesn't care? I'm not gay, so why should I?
-
Cool cool :)

By god, it's spreading...

I'm getting less and less embarrassed to have my country touching murrica.[spoiler]still super messed up though[/spoiler]

The Bears are a shit team

ITT speculate on which state will have the shame of being the last to cross the finish line. I have a sinking feeling my home state of Alabama will further "distinguish" it's record on human rights, but here's to hoping I'm being pessimistic.

I like this thread because it mentions the NFL.
