Woohoo!

Even if it's only happening one state at a time, we're thrilled our country's lawmakers are slowly coming to their senses!

Marriage is a right any two people in love ought to be able to enjoy and, if all goes according to plan, same-sex couples in the Land of Lincoln will enjoy that right sooner rather than later!

President Barack Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel are supporting local efforts to make gay marriage an economic imperative and asking Illinois state lawmakers to draft a legalization bill in just a few days!

Prez Obama, of course, cannot write Illinois legislature, but his opinion is highly regarded within the state!

A White House spokesperson said:

"While the president does not weigh in on every measure being considered by state legislatures, he believes in treating everyone fairly and equally, with dignity and respect. As he has said, his personal view is that it's wrong to prevent couples who are in loving, committed relationships, and want to marry, from doing so. Were the President still in the Illinois State Legislature, he would support this measure that would treat all Illinois couples equally."

Well put!

This is ah-mazing news!! Hopefully 2013 brings forth equality for ALL couples who love each other!

Eva Longoria is very pretty and VERY politically minded.

We're not sure if she's planning on running for office any time soon, but she is definitely trying her hardest to make sure that Barack Obama stays in the White House.

The actress is already one of the 35 national co-chairs in the president's re-election campaign and will be speaking at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in September. She'll be one of the few celebrities joining a line-up which is sacrificing star power for powerful women!

Dan Cathy's chickens hate-filled comments are finally coming home to roost!

The controversial bigoted COO of Chick-Fil-A recently said allowing same-sex marriage is “inviting God’s judgment on our nation.”

In an ironic twist, his homophobic viewpoints invited the nation's judgment down on his fast-food chain.

First the mayor of Boston spoke out against his company, and now Chicago politicians are following suit!

City Councilman "Joe' Moreno just vowed to block paperwork the company filed in trying to open up another restaurant in the Windy City.

He emphatically stated:
