Cheers, Boos and Yawns as Illinois Legislature Passes Civil Unions
(St. Louis Beacon) — Some celebratory, some cynical, some opposed and others barely noticing, St. Louisans are of several minds regarding the Illinois civil unions bill now awaiting Gov. Pat Quinn’s promised signature. On Wednesday the Illinois Senate voted to approve civil unions by a 32-to-24 vote; the Senate’s vote came on the heels of yesterday’s 60 to 52 vote in the Illinois House. The law, which will go into effect July 1, comes just a year and a half after Iowa approved same-sex marriage — and just one day after the Pentagon released its survey that showed 70 percent of those in the military support or have no problem with gays or lesbians in the military.
