Supporters of same-sex marriage think Illinois could become the next state to legalize it, perhaps as soon as the fall veto session.
Proponents of the idea point to the recent victories for same-sex marriage ballot measures in four states, and polling data that shows support for the idea continues to grow in Illinois.
But there’s still no guarantee that such a proposal could pass in Illinois, either during the lame-duck session or next year, when Democrats will have supermajorities in both the state House and Senate.
