Same Sex Marriage Bill Passes IL Senate Committee

Posted: Updated:

The Illinois Senate may bring a plan to legalize same sex marriage to a vote on Valentine's Day.

An Illinois Senate committee approved the bill, and now the bill will go to the full Senate.

State senator Heather Steans says she is confident it has the support to pass the senate next week. Steans says the time is right because public opinion is rapidly changing about gay marriage.

If passed, the bill would move to the state House.
