Fellow residents of Illinois, Take Note:
The Domestic Partnership bill has passed committee (in a slim 5-4 vote) and will be going to the House of Representatives.
I am asking everyone who is willing to please call, email (ie contact) their representative and let them know that you support equal rights in Illinois.
Of course, in typical Illinois fashion, the opposition is complaining that this is just marriage under a different name (which is the same argument the opposition in other places use to try and get domestic partnership bills through so that they won't have to *shock*shock*shock* provide equality to all citizens by granting them the right to the word.
This issue affects you, or someone you know and care about. Please be loud, be heard, be vigilant. In the words of Joey B's favorite chant from "Day without a Gay, "Obama. Obama. Let Momma marry Momma!"
