Updated: February 1, 2013
The Illinois Senate President says he wants to pass same-sex marriage legislation on Valentine's Day. John Cullerton says he would like the State Senate to pass the measure out of committee next week and vote to approve it on February 14. He believes the bill has the 30 votes needed to pass and move to the Illinois House. Advocates have been pushing for legislation that offers same-sex couples marriage rights currently only available to heterosexual couples.
