Wicked Cheers :: Gay Marriage Now Legal Statewide in Illinois
// WickedGayBlog.com

Gay and lesbian couples across Illinois can now legally wed as the state becomes the latest in the nation to allow same-sex marriage.

Sunday's celebration is anticlimactic for some, because 16 counties began issuing marriage licenses following a February federal court ruling.

Still, June 1 marks the first day all of Illinois' 102 counties can issue the licenses to same-sex couples. It's also the first day couples statewide who have civil unions can ask to convert those to a marriage. Full story here!

WGB: Congrats to all my readers in Illinois on this very special day in the history of LGBT equality!
