Congratulations, Illinois, for joining the growing number of states that are honoring marriage by including gay and lesbian families. It’s great for Missouri to now have two neighbors that provide protections for loving families. We know the majority of Missourians support marriage for same-sex couples. It’s time for Missouri to join Illinois and Iowa in treating all families equally. It is our goal to do whatever is necessary to make sure that day comes soon for Missourians.
