Poll: Illinois
residents don't support same-sex marriage bans

A new poll in Illinois shows that most people in the state don't want the Illinois or U.S. constitutions rewritten to ban same-sex marriage. While the majority of state voters--51%--said they oppose marriage equality, only 40% support asking state lawmakers for a constitutional amendment to ban it. Fifty percent were opposed to amending the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, and 10% were undecided. There is even less support for amending the U.S. Constitution, with 62% opposing it. The poll was conducted by the Chicago-based Glengariff Group. (Sirius OutQ News)
