Rahm Emanuel and Illinois lawmakers attempting to officially turn llinois into Sodom and Gormorrah

Mayor Rahm Emanuel today said he would press for legislation pending in Springfield that would legalize same-sex marriage in Illinois.

“I’ll push for it because it is consistent with the values base, and the practical values base, that I think is right as a city, as a state and as a country,” said Emanuel, who supported gay marriage during the campaign.
Just Tuesday, Washington became the seventh state to legalize gay marriage, but in Illinois, the effort is seen as an uphill battle, even with Emanuel’s support. It took decades to pass civil rights protects for gays and lesbians and years to pass civil unions, which became the law last June. This year, a bill has been introduced at the Capitol to approve same sex marriages.
Emanuel has presided over civil unions, including one of his top aides.
“If you have two loving adults, that should actually be held up as a positive, whether it’s male or female, but in this case female-female, male-male,” the mayor said today. “I think that’s proper, and we shouldn’t as a state discriminate.”
