Obviously your insider was mistaken.

Welcome to the marriage anarchy club. Fifteen member states and counting.
 
Illinois is practically bankrupt. There will be much more “bread and circus” coming from IL to keep the masses appeased.

I call it the United Sodom of America. I do not live in Illinois, but this breaks my heart to hear this, and almost cried. I will be saying a prayer for the state of Illinois. I heard that the governor who signed this, is a cafeteria catholic. I don’t understand why the church doesn’t step up more, and excommunicate governor quinn and all the other so called catholics who supported this. I think the church, along with other protestants, have stood against gay “marriage” pretty well so far. This is a sad day for America. Please pray for other states who are considering this, and for a change of heart for those who support it.

May God have Mercy on America
 
Quinn is just one of the ringleaders for this travesty: the useful idiot.

Mike Madigan, Speaker of the House and the Emperor of Illinois (he is a fellow ND grad, I am sad to admit), is the guy that makes things happen in this state. He twisted arms and made promises. We may not know the consequences of those either.

John Cullerton and many others: guilt by association.

A sad day indeed.

This is true; you must live here.

I called my state rep, he voted against it, but the Chicago crew got what they asked for.

what a nasty thing, even as marriage itself is in trouble.

Sodomy, love the Sinner but not the Sin, the Church teaches, a man’s private parts were not designed to go up into another man anatomy - can this man have children -no.
 
‘Deep disappointment’ over vote to redefine marriage in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD – The Catholic Conference of Illinois expressed deep disappointment at the Illinois House’s passage on Tuesday of legislation redefining marriage in the state from “between a man and a woman” to “between two persons.”

“Today’s decision by Illinois lawmakers to change the definition of marriage not only goes against the common consensus of the human race – which understands that nature tells us that marriage is the union of one man and one woman – but it also undermines an institution that is the cornerstone of a healthy society,” said CCI in a statement. The Catholic Conference of Illinois serves as the public policy voice of the Illinois bishops.

“The optimal condition in which to raise children is a home that includes both a mother and a father, since women and men are not interchangeable,” the statement continued.

The Illinois House late Tuesday voted 61-54 – one vote more than required – to send the measure back to the Senate to change the bill’s effective date. The Senate, which had already approved the measure in February, quickly forwarded the legislation to Gov. Pat Quinn, who has pledged to sign it into law. Illinois would become the 15th state to allow same-sex couples to legally marry.

“The Catholic Conference is deeply disappointed that members of the General Assembly chose to redefine what is outside of its authority: a natu:thumbsup:ral institution like marriage,” continued the CCI statement. “We remain concerned about the very real threats to religious liberty that are at stake with the passage of this bill.”

Robert Gilligan, executive director of the Catholic Conference of Illinois, wrote a column published Nov. 6 by RealClearReligion that was titled “
The End of Religious Liberty in the Land of Lincoln”.

“During floor debate, lawmakers threw out words such as ‘equality’ and ‘fairness,’ said Gilligan. “But one important term was glossed over – religious freedom.”

While the bill, SB 10, was titled the “Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act” and lawmakers assured faith groups and religious organizations that churches nor clergy would be forced to solemnize any same-sex marriage, Gilligan asked “Where have we heard that before?”

He pointed to similar promises during floor debate on civil unions three years ago. Within six months of its implementation, all Catholic Charities in the state were pushed out of foster care and adoption services because of their “religious belief of not placing children with unmarried couples, be they heterosexual or homosexual.”

“We know better this time,” said Gilligan. “We know our religious freedom is not protected.”

The Thomas More Society, which has been at the forefront of defending traditional marriage in Illinois, called Tuesday afternoon’s vote “regrettable.” But in a statement following the vote, the Society said it did take some reassurance at legislators’ insistence tha Illinois’ Religious Freedom Restoration Act and other constitutional and statutory guarantees of religious liberties “remain in full force and effect.”

“We will do our part to insure that those fundamental religious liberties are given robust and unstinting protection,” their statement read.

Writing against the bill in February, Bishop Daniel R. Jenky, CSC, said it “will actively seek to redefine marriage, resulting in detrimental repercussions to traditional marriage, religious liberty, parental rights and society as a whole.”

“We thank the thousands of citizens across Illinois who joined us in our efforts to preserve marriage in law,” said the Catholic Conference of Illinois statement. “This was a truly bipartisan and ecumenical effort, reflective of the fact that a marriage is universally understood as being between a man and a woman.”

More than 2,500 Illinois residents traveled to Springfield on Oct. 23 to lobby legislators against the bill. The Catholic Conference of Illinois supported the Defend Marriage Lobby Day, which was coordinated by the Illinois Family Institute and featured rallies with speakers from throughout the state. The previous day, supporters of the legislation had rallied at the Capitol.

As soon as the bill passed a gay lawmaker proposed to his partner.Illinois lawmaker proposes to partner after gay marriage passage

SPRINGFIELD (WREX) -
Just hours after the Illinois General Assembly voted to allow same-sex marriage beginning in June, an Illinois lawmaker proposed to his partner of three years.

Rep. Sam Yingling of Round Beach proposed during a celebration at the Governor’s Mansion on Tuesday. He and his partner have three children and Yingling said he plans to get their marriage license as soon as the law goes into effect.

Yingling said he has been carrying a ring with him for about a year, waiting for his chance to propose. The two men grew up in Illinois and hoped to marry in their home state.

Governor Quinn has said he will sign the bill this month, making Illinois the 15th state to allow gay marriage.😦
 
“Today’s decision by Illinois lawmakers to change the definition of marriage not only goes against the common consensus of the human race – which understands that nature tells us that marriage is the union of one man and one woman – but it also undermines an institution that is the cornerstone of a healthy society,” said CCI in a statement. The Catholic Conference of Illinois serves as the public policy voice of the Illinois bishops."
“It goes against the common consensus of the human race.” This tells you how far Illinois and other states have fallen. This is not just a political issue, it’s a civilizational issue. Kill the family, kill the civilization.
 
If this is truly about marriage “equality”, than why wasn’t polygamy legalized? being equal means everybody should be happy regardless, and I don’t think polygamists are enjoying marriage “equality”. Marriage, the foundation to a good society, is now meaningless.

This explains a lot about the marriage “equality” agenda.

“Let us not be naive: this is not simply a political struggle, but it is an attempt to destroy God’s plan. It is not just a bill (a mere instrument) but a ‘move’ of the father of lies who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.” -Pope Francis
