It is on today's calendar. As an Illinoisan with a wedding planned for this September, I am very excited
about this and HOPING we get the 60 votes needed to pass.

1. I'm curious about that bill title - usually religious freedom in this context refers to

the right of religious people not to be offended by Gay marriage (which shouldn't actually be a right, but there you go).

2. They are using it in the context

of the constitution, freedom to believe what ever you want but that your not allowed to force your views on other people.

3. Well that's an unusually accurate way to use it in this climate. Good on them. nt

4. I hope they pass it.

As I understand, it has already passed the IL Senate, and the Governor plans to sign the bill if it passes the House.

Any idea when they'll actually take the vote?

IL could become #13 today!
