Oppose Senate Bill 1716 - Civil Unions
Senate Bill 1716 will grant homosexual couples “the same legal obligations, responsibilities, protections and benefits afforded or recognized by the law of Illinois to spouses.”
Children are the State’s #1 interest in Limiting ‘Marriage Status’ to Husband and Wife.
· Marriage is recognized – not created – by the state as both a personal relationship and institution.
· The government has legitimately defined marriage as an institution and has limited its membership.
· The state recognizes that marriage is centrally concerned about the children.
Senate Bill 1716 is a stepping stone to legalizing same-sex “marriage”.
“We are using the civil union bill as a foundation to go for equal marriage … That is exactly what we want!” said homosexual lobbyist Rick Garcia at a Joliet rally last year.
At a forum on same-sex marriage at the Chicago History Museum on September 14th, lesbian State Representative Deb Mell said, that she was confident they have the votes to pass a civil unions bill.
“Gov. Quinn believes that gay and lesbian couples are entitled to the same benefits as heterosexual couples,” Quinn campaign spokesperson Mica Matsoff recently told the State Journal Register. “There is a bill in the legislature, and Gov. Quinn looks forward to signing it.”
The deadline for SB1716 has purposely been extended to Nov. 30th during the lame duck veto session. If it passes the House, it will go back to the Senate. Inevitably, this kind of legislation will be used to teach about homosexual unions in all public schools.
