You've gotta a sick sense of the word "cool".

Have high expectations for "The New Normal" this fall. Hope it'll be as ground-breaking (and as good) as "Will & Grace" was.

It is horrible and terrible. I am a teen in high school and it is sad to know that the boy i'm in love with now and I will not be able to get married in my home state. I agree Tiffany! Is Virginia really For Lovers?

This needs to change…not just for Georgia, for all of America. Free country? Pfft.

Ideas like these are the reason I'm not proud to have grown up in Ohio. Treating some citizens differently is wrong. Period.

I live in Nebraska, and I am ashamed to live in this state. Being as though I have 2 gay uncles, I think same-sex marriage should be allowed. 2 daddy's are better than none. 2 mommy's are better than none. Honestly…we talk about keeping things fair and having equal rights for all….but yet we decided to force the LGBT community to hid themselves and keep them away from being married. They are just as much of a person as you are. Don't discriminate just because their sexuality isn't to your own preference.

I think same sex people are the same as everyone else people need to get a life and let them be. Its wrong to judge them for who they are. You cant stop who you fall in love with. Im 18 an a lesbian AND A CHRISTIAN and im happly dating a girl that im going to get married to and i dont care who hates gays or not im living my life and god will not judge me for being happy. Im right with the lord. He has helped me be with her and hasnt tried to tear us apart he wants us happy!!!!!

@Frank

What makes laws banning same sex marriage so frustrating is that they are restricted currently to state laws, and states that officially ban gay marriage do not recognize marriages or civil partnerships performed in other states. This includes Indiana.
So to answer your question, you and your partner would have to move your household to Illinois and become citizens in order to be recognized as partners by your state of residency. Unfortunately, any protections written into the marriage laws of Illinois do not exist outside of the state, unless that state allows same-sex unions (i.e. Maryland).
