Civil Unions for Same Sex couples in Illinois

Taking place in July 2011, Illinois will now have Civil Unions for same sex couples. Finally. Click on the photo below to view the full story.

So, I try not to be all political on this blog because it can be a real turn off for many. But, this news makes me very happy. It’s yet another reason why I moved from the non-progressive state of Ohio to Illinois. Just had a gut feeling it’d be better all around in the long term. And it has.

Nope, it’s not Marriage but to the gays who want the right to marry, it’s a step. We should all feel a bit proud of our combined work today.

One thought on “Civil Unions for Same Sex couples in Illinois

  1. Awesome news!

    My husband and I had our Civil Partnership on the 23rd June 2007 here in the UK. It gives us all the rights and recognitions of a married couple, it is the same in all but name.

    Personally don’t get the need to be able to call it marriage. If you call it a Civil Union / Partnership it is easier to pass.

    When it comes enjoy your day! Ours really was the most perfect day surrounded by our closes friends.

    Hugs
