State Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago) is sponsor of a bill to legalize gay marriage, but says he probably won't call it in Springfield because it doesn't have the votes to pass.
On the other hand, he said he might call his House Bill 1826, legalizing civil unions, which would grant same-sex couples certain, what he called, limited, rights.
"Illinois is not ready for same-sex marriage yet. Certainly the legislature was not when I did my roll call there. But people are willing to talk about extending certain basic concepts [like] fairness," Harris said.
Ralph Rivera's one of the leading foes of gay marriage, opposition that he says is based in part on the Bible, especially the books of Genesis, Leviticus and a letter from St. Paul to the Corinthians.

Sanity as Insurrection was the title of the final session of the 2019 Illinois Family Institute Worldview Conference on “Trans” Ideology. In this presentation, Pastor Doug Wilson stressed the importance in asking sane questions, ones that strike at the heart of the matter, when we engage in debate with our adversaries because “… deliberate and premeditated sanity is a challenge to the powers that be.”
Pastor Wilson also detailed seven theological/intellectual life hacks – non-negotiables regarding orthodox theology, faith, and truth – that will illuminate what’s going on in the world around us. We cannot recommend this session high enough to you. Please, watch with your friends and church leaders—or better yet, invite them over to watch and discuss it together. You will be edified, enlightened, emboldened, and inspired.
