Illinois Senate President Wants Marriage Equality Vote on Valentine's Day
Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) wants to send a big Valentine to Illinois' gay and lesbian couples, the Sun Times reports:
Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) wants Feb. 14 to be the day his legislative chamber votes to legalize gay marriages in Illinois.
“I’d like to pass it out of committee next week and pass it on Valentine’s Day,” Cullerton told the Chicago Sun-Times in a meeting Thursday with the newspaper’s Editorial Board.
Cullerton said he believes the legislation, Senate Bill 10, has the necessary 30 votes to pass and move to the House, clearing a major hurdle in making Illinois the 10th state to legalize same-sex marriages.
Can't happen fast enough!

I hope my state senator, big and long Mike Frerichs votes for it. He should know the importance of being gay and married.
