More than two dozen gay and lesbian couples filed suit Wednesday against the state of Illinois because they cannot get married.
While civil unions are legal in Illinois, gay marriage is not. Gay couples can only apply for a civil union.
Some said they hoped to change that with two lawsuits that include more than two dozen couples from the Chicago area, Bloomington and Marion.
The couples will argue it is unconstitutional for the state to deny them the right to marry. They hope their fight will make it all the way to the Supreme Court.
The lawsuits are backed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and a New York-based gay advocacy group.
Wednesdays lawsuits were filed against Cook County Clerk David Orr because he is the public official charged with administering the law and marriage licenses.
Orr released a statement reading, "I hope this lawsuit is the last hurdle to achieving equal marriage rights for all. I am fully in support of the right for people to marry, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. Nobody should have to pass a gender test to get a marriage license."

They want it reduced to gibberish. In the long run, they don't want families to exist at all ..... certainly nothing resembling a Judaeo-Christian "family".
It's the father-mother-family cluster that outs them as the pervs, the outliers, the deviants. That's why they want it all to go away, and this court case is their grand, final attempt to legally rewire reality out of existence.
No one is attacking “love”. The government doesn’t tell anyoine and cannot tell anyone who or what we can love because love is subjective, quite literally in the eye of the beholder.
What is under attack is marriage. That’s objective and monogamy, one man married to one woman, is the natural and historical standard. The only other potential standard is polygyny - one man to many women. No other “marriages” are normal.
Homosexuals are attempting to rationalize their neurosis to be “normal” something it never can be. All the evidence to date points to homosexuality as a mental illness needing treatment not acceptance. The APA violated its charter and the medical adage to first do no harm when they removed homosexuality from the DSM. They did so based on no scientific evidence, just political action and subversion by a homosexual cadre bent on normalizing homosexuality.
Imagine yourself as a counselor and the patient stating that they love sticking things in their rectum. What’s your conclusion? Normalcy? It’s absurd on its face, yet here we are.
Concur. Even Tibetan-style polyandry works poorly, it seems to me, and I don't know of any other polyandristic societies. Polygyny works, but (anecdotally) only with a number of wives N, where n > 3, and where polygyny is accepted.
The Chinese did a good film about polygyny once, called Raise the Red Lantern -- it introduced one of their really good actresses as one of the four wives of a very busy husband, who was kept all the busier by wifely intriguing.

Bump. But consider, however, the left hand of Providence, which as things have turned out since 1972 and the APA cabal, has dealt harshly with the cabalists and their "beneficiaries". Consider the death toll alone, and wonder.
I'd like to see a study on your comment that "polygyny works, but (anecdotally) only with a number of wives N, where n > 3, and where polygyny is accepted." I'm curious to see if that's true. Do wives behave better in volumes greater than 3 or is intrigue compounded? From the Bible stories alone, at least the ones I readily recall, you appear to be correct.
The more I consider this the better this news is. Opening this up gives us a chance to revisit the APA’s decision in 1972/73 to remove homosexuality from the DSM. It was done politically without a shred of science to back it up.
Let conservative bloggers discuss and debate this. Let the truth come out. What the opposition will do is relate any discussion of the psychological aspect of homosexual behavior to homosexual repression. They’ll mention how many societies jail or even execute homosexuals.
Those societies happen to be repressive socialist tyrannies or repressive Moslem tyrannies. This works out to a double win for us. Homosexuality can and should be treatedas a mental illness. We don’t jail manic depressives or hypochondriacs. We treat them and have compassion on them. A cure should be looked for.
We can turn this debate around and we can win.
God says no, the people say no -the government is under BOTH the people and God.
This is how it began in MA, with two lesbians filing a suit to be able to get married. It’s interesting that less than 6 years later, those same two women were the first homosexual couple to file for Divorce.
One of the rarer and more interesting concordances of Biblical and Greek history is the story of Xerxes (Ahasuerus) and his wives. The names are differently recorded, but the story told is the same. The great queen insulted Xerxes by refusing to come to dinner one night when she was summoned (she was displeased with the numbers of his concubines), and Xerxes, in a funk, married 300 women in retaliation. (One of these was Hadassah, or Esther, whose full name was probably Esther Hadassah, which is Old Babylonian -- Akkadian -- for "Ishtar is her guiding star". The rabbis teach that Hadassah was her personal, and Esther her court, name. They can't have been pleased that her name -- and Mordecai's ["Servant of Marduk"] -- honored the false gods of Babylon.)
Going forward, Xerxes's household policy led to generational rivalries sometimes intermediated by power-playing chamberlains (eunuchs) like Bagoas (q.v.), leading to coups and civil strife .... which sooner cost Persia her eastern, Sogdian provinces (which had been out of the empire longer than 100 years when Alexander showed up to "reclaim" them), and later on brought Philip of Macedon sniffing.
And before they wanted civil unions they rejected marriage and even the idea of monogamy as “heteronormative” (gayest word ever) BS.
The dem overlords wussed out and only passed civil unions here. They don’t want to lose even more downstate votes.
You know what gays, get married, you well off gay men go marry young men who will divorce you and take half your money. Lesbians you get married, visit the sperm bank for a “family” and then fast forward 5 years and find your self in a custody battle with someone of no relation to your children.
Pass gay marriage today Illinois, call it the “Divorce Attorney’s Enrichment Act of 2012”. They’ll pass the $ on to you via campaign contributions. Everyone wins!
I’ve decided just now I’m entitled to marry the person of my choice too no matter who it is. I think I’ll go with a supermodel that I’ve never met. I shall sue to force the government to compel her to marry me. Then I’ll divorce her, take half her money and marry both of her sisters. It’s my constitutional right after all. What you can’t find that in there? Check on the back, Thomas Jefferson put it on the back.
A federal marriage amendement ends this.
No civil unions, no anything goes marriage. period.
only co-habitation contracts.
pull the rug out from under their legs.
it is not a “god” argument.
Ayers had stated he participated in “hedonism events” (a tamed phrase for family consumption) in order to challenge what was normal. By his own abnormality it made all society free from the normal. (make you wonder what happened with his protoge)
The fundamental fact is the is no reason for society to reward mere orgasm success. The meme is “two people in love”. There is no love test under the law. never has been.
This is also based on the mythology of “born that way”. All other behavior EXCEPT THIS ONE is learned but this one hedonism fetish is immutable?
Logic and reason has to be used to destroy the homosexual arguments. Faith alone only surrenders the field to the abnormalists.
Sure gays can adopt but that will just lead to them teaching their children their gay way of life, further contributing to the pursuit normalizing homosexuality.
BUMP
