Supports believe Illinois gay marriage bill will pass this week
It's stalled in Springfield, but supporters of Illinois' gay marriage bill say they believe it will pass this week.
The executive committee voted 8-5 to send the bill to the Senate floor and some lawmakers have unveiled plans to take up the measure in these closing days of the current General Assembly. Supporters believe they have the votes to get their wish.
Gay rights organizations held a rally outside the Thompson Center on Saturday as lawmakers were meeting inside to discuss pension reform.
They encouraged people to push for the gay marriage bill to pass.
