Marriage Equality Introduced In Illinois Legislature | Illinois state Rep. Greg Harris (D) has introduced a marriage equality bill less than a year after the state legalized same-sex civil unions. The Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act (HB5170) contains the same provisions as the civil union bill did, and also allows couples to convert their civil unions to marriages. Illinois legislators had been already been strategizing a plan for passing marriage equality, but reports indicated they were aiming for 2013, not this year.
