I have just read in an article online coming from The Chicago Tribune that the Illinois House of Representatives have passed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. The Governor supported the measure and will sign it into law. However, according to the article, the law will not go into effect until June 1, 2014.
Up until now 14 states in the United States have legalized same-sex marriage, as well as the District of Columbia, and several Indian Tribal nations as well. The issue of marriage equality is a very hot topic in Hawai'i as well, where it is being debated in Honolulu.
And the Hawaii House has wrapped its marriage equality testimony and will reconvene tonight to consider putting the bill to the floor (the bill is the only piece of legislation being considered in this special session).
It has already passed the Hawaii Senate.
Governor Abercrombie is an outspoken supporter of the bill.
Yes, but resistence against legalized same-sex marriage is still strong in many states. It appears that in defiance to the Pentagon policy some states are refusing to issues identification cards to same sex spouses of members of the National Guard.

It is just a matter of time that there will be a ruling for marriage equality as there was in 1967 for interracial marriage with Loving verses Virginia that will codify into law marriage equality across the USA.

More details will be forthcoming ...
I am ambivalent about homosexual marriage, but anything that will break the conservative party and expose their extremism should be done.
If I am the Democratic party I keep pushing and pushing these wedge issues to show to voters how extreme the conservative party has become.
marriage itself is about Inequality...giving up you freedom to be enslaved to someone else....
you want equality...the abolish all marriages
