TODAY: Last Chance For Illinois Marriage

As you surely know by now, last night the Illinois House adjourned without voting on its marriage equality bill. Today is the final day of the legislative session and Illinois Unites is offering free bus rides from Chicago to Springfield for a morning rally at the state capitol. If the vote does not take place today, there is an apparent chance that Gov. Pat Quinn could call the chamber back for a special session, but I've only see a few mentions of that possibility. Anti-gay groups, including NOM, are continuing to claim that wavering reps are being offered bribes of pork projects for their home districts should they come on board. Stand by for another nail-biting day.
