Great news to those in Illinois, a bill legalizing civil unions passed the lower house and it's expected to pass the senate and get signed by the governor. 
After about an hour of discussion, the Illinois House on Tuesday evening approved legislation legalizing civil unions.
The Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act -- SB1716 -- passed 61 to 52. The Senate is expected to also pass the bill and Gov. Pat Quinn has said he would sign it.
Supporters and opponents had been working furiously up until Tuesday to line up votes on whether the state should offer some kind of legal recognition to same-sex couples.

Civil unions coming to Illinois 
In a landmark 32 to 24 vote, legislation recognizing civil unions among gay and lesbian couples passed the Illinois Senate Wednesday afternoon. The bill now heads to Gov. Quinn, who has pledged to sign it.
Once enacted, Illinois would become just the sixth state to recognize civil unions or domestic partnerships.
“Today was a great day for the people of Illinois, for the family of Illinois,’’ said Quinn.

I don't care if someone is gay or straight. I don't even care if gays serve in the army. But same-sex marriages? That's just completely immoral. I think that same-sex marriages, along with tobacco, should be outlawed in the US

Infringing upon the happiness of others for no other reason than that you find their love "icky" is immoral. Say what you will, but if you claim that them getting married is wrong and that you also don't care one way or the other, you are lying. Which is, while we're on the topic, immoral when it's for purely self-serving reasons, as it likely is here.
Your move.

Wow, nice move, except it doesn't even prove anything in the context of your religion and it's irrelevant in our secular society. I'd recommend you read this but I have a feeling that your brain is not open to new ideas. |

Do you think that we should reinstate slavery because it existed in Biblical times
That's what the Southerners said in the 1800's, but the Quakers and abolitionists knew slavery was morally wrong. So now, every American (hopefully) knows that slavery is evil.
Oh, what about abortion and racism? Abortion is murder because it kills a fetus; an unborn human; A PERSON! And racism? The KKK and Neo-Nazis exist today in the US. Racism is not respecting all humans, because it defys at least one race of humans. And that's not helping us all become one single human family.

And discrimination because of sexuality is respecting those people?

I'm not even following whatever drivel you've decided to piece together for an argument, tatan.
Also, racism and abortion have nothing to do with this thread.

Unless you had a hidden sarcasm mark there, since the beginning.
Now, a LOT of people in the message board are somewhere on the LGBT spectrum (I happen to be on the B part with hints of T, but that's not important right now). We're open if you can give respectable and intelligent reasons why you believe anything we may be doing is wrong, but keep retiring to the same old bullshit given by, frankly, unintelligent boobs, with no reason to back up your claims, you can either keep your damn thoughts to yourself or get the fuck out of our message board.
And if you're a troll, then just get the fuck out outright.
TL;DR: reason or GTFO
