Blindsided

So busy watching the marriage progress around the country that I forgot to look at home. The Illinois House was expected to vote on a civil unions bill today. It's probably going to be tight, but if it passes, it goes right to the Senate, where it's expected to sail through. The Governor has said he'll sign it as soon as it hits his desk.

Next year, marriage.

Update:

The sister bill has cleared a Senate committee.
