About this Article

The Illinois Senate today once again could debate giving same-sex couples the right to marry. The Democrat-controlled Senate has already given preliminary approval to the plan over the objections of Republicans, and Senate President John Cullerton has touted the idea of sending gay marriage legislation to the Illinois House on Valentine's Day. “We're expecting a vote tomorrow,” said Cullerton spokesman Ron Holmes on Wednesday.
