IL: GOP Gubenatorial Candidate Would Ban Gay Marriage & Civil Unions in Constitution

Though the winner of the GOP gubernatorial nomination is still a toss up between Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady, front-runner Brady is already making plans for the Illinois gay community--he wants to change state Constitution to ban same-sex marriages. "I'm trying to give the government back to the people," Sen. Brady (R-Bloomington) said regarding his proposal, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Apparently, he means the straight people.

The proposal would also ban civil unions in the state.

Brady's opponent Dillard is also opposed to gay marriage and civil unions, but it was not clear whether he would try to change the Constitution over the issue.
