Chicago Mayor Will Push for Marriage Equality

Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel says he’ll lobby for the marriage equality bill pending in the Illinois state legislature, the Chicago Tribunereports.

“I’ll push for it because it is consistent with the values base, and the practical values base, that I think is right as a city, as a state and as a country,” Emanuel told the Tribune today. “If you have two loving adults, that should actually be held up as a positive, whether it’s male or female, but in this case female-female, male-male. I think that’s proper, and we shouldn’t as a state discriminate.”
