SPRINGFIELD,
Ill. (AP) — When lawmakers voted this month to approve gay marriage in
Illinois, the state was set to become the 15th in the nation to legalize
same-sex weddings.
Now Illinois may become the 16th state.
That's because Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie is expected to sign legislation Wednesday legalizing gay marriage in that state. Same-sex marriages are set to begin in the island state on Dec. 2.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has said he'll sign his state's measure during a special ceremony in Chicago on Nov. 20. Gay marriages will begin in Illinois in June.
Another 14 states and the District of Columbia already allow same-sex marriage.
