According to openly gay Illinois State Representative Gregory Harris, Governor Pat Quinn will legalize civil unions legal in that state later this month. He'll do so in a ceremonial signing in Downtown Chicago.
Harris posted on his Facebook wall this morning:
"Governor Pat Quinn will sign the Civil Union Law on Monday, January 31. The signing ceremony will be in the afternoon in the Chicago Loop, and open to the public. Details will be announced early next week."
