    Civil unions will not advance this year in Illinois. The legislative strategy there is just not strong enough yet to get this issue passed. In like manner, it does not seem likely that the cons will get enough votes to ban same-sex marriage. What bothers me most is that this issue should not be open to the voters. What if the existence of the Republican party were put to a vote? Would they be banned based on their minority status?

      Good point. I agree.

      "What if the existence of the Republican party were put to a vote? Would they be banned based on their minority status?"

      How can we get this on the ballot? :-)

        I completely agree. This should NOT be up to the voters.
