Story by Kate Sosin, courtesy of Windy City Times:

Gay state Rep. Greg Harris has a message for LGBTs and their allies: start calling your Illinois lawmakers and telling them you support marriage equality.

Harris, who introduced a marriage equality bill (Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act) in February, says it is only a matter of time before the bill is up for a vote, and that time could come sooner than expected.

"We have some opportunities to move legislation in the veto session and we just need to be prepared," said Harris.
