In Kankakee on July 5th, 2013 something AMAZING happened.
A man named Randall Krause got about 175 men, women and children to help express his desire to have marriage for LGBT come to fruition with SB 10. This in conjunction with the Supreme Court ruling striking down DOMA, gives every LGBT "married" couples the same Federal rights as every heterosexual couple.
What is standing in the way here is getting enough votes for SB 10 which allows equal marriage in Illinois. Problem lies not in the most rational of places. In fact, Democrats are the unlikely source of homophobia and discrimination. In this case, Democrat Illinois House Rep Kate Cloonen is stating that she will not vote for SB 10. She is pushing her religious agenda over what would be providing benefits and protections for a minority group in her district. Doesn't sound like she took her Oath of Office seriously when she stated that she would uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
When calling Washington DC to get assistance with these "rogue" Democrats, the Democratic National Committee has been very helpful. When I discussed with them and filed a formal complaint and investigation into these rogues, they were horrified that "so-called" Democrats are NOT following the party platform. The SAME party platform that got Barack Obama re-elected. So stealing money from the DNC and actually being a Republican is like sheep in wolves clothing. Eventually, you are found out and hunted down.
In this case, should Kate Cloonen vote NO to SB 10, hope she has a resume ready for Wal-Mart. Glenn Nixon, a Republican would be the key candidate for LGBT support. For every LGBT family, there are at least 2 straight families supporting them in the background. That equals lots of votes for Mr. Nixon. Who appears not to be a homophobe. Mr. Nixon got in touch with Randall shortly after the rally stating that he did a great job. We have been finding Republican candidates who are in support of LGBT rights. Ron Sandack of Downers Grove is one of these standout Republicans that would sweep a homophobic Democrat out the door and into the dumpster.
Lastly, the Supreme Court decisions have now Super Charged the court cases in Illinois. Kate and her hater friends who want "religious protections", better step up and vote YES on SB 10. Court cases will NOT include any homophobic discrimination which they term "religious protections". Oh, the history books will record these votes for all eternity. Hero or Homophobe, Kate? What will be written on your tombstone of history?
So, mark it in your history books. July 5th, 2013... the day that Randall Krause forever changed history in Kankakee, in Illinois and in the United States.
