Asshattery Fails in Illinois

Today, the Illinois Senate put the smack down on the anti-gay adoption amendment reported yesterday by yours truly.  Good job, everyone who called in.  :)

"Opponents said it's a direct assault on Illinois' new civil union law, which takes effect June 1. And some fear children will lose opportunities to be placed in loving homes because of discrimination.

"'Who will be our next target?' said Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, one of two openly gay lawmakers in the General Assembly."

Who indeed.
