Quinn calls on House to send him gay marriage bill - Chicago Tribune

“It's time to vote,” Quinn said Thursday. “Illinois passing marriage equality into law, I think, sends a great signal to the people of our state and the people of America. So it's important to Illinois (that) the House of Representatives get going.”


Did you feel that? The tide has changed!

Hats offta Gov. Quinn of my homie state!
