Downstate lawmaker wants to 'reaffirm' Illinois' gay marriage ban
By Kurt Erickson | kurt.erickson@lee.net

SPRINGFIELD - A Republican who represents a swath of southeastern Illinois is sponsoring legislation aimed at highlighting the state's ban on same-sex marriage.  Even though Illinois approved a law banning same-sex marriage in 1986, state Rep. David Reis, R-Willow Hill, said his resolution will help counteract recent lawsuits that are challenging the prohibition.

"It is time for the General Assembly to reaffirm their support for Illinois laws reserving the institution of marriage between one man and one woman," Reis said in a statement.
