It is rather difficult to gauge your reaction and position from this post.

Hes speechless about how awesome this is :P

It must be great to live around rational thinking people. Unfortunately I live in Mississippi :(

Um... Great?

Hooray for fellow Chicago residents!

... so it is

HAHAHA YOU LOSE

No, you are.

That's why you're crying about it right now.

@sog7dc: They do in this context. You clogging up the thread with your drama and sadness.

"im not the one who lost"

All you need is a window to look out of and a sunset. Perfect set-up for your tears.

Your wonderful, salty, hateful tears.

k thanks bye

Meh

*whispers in a somewhat creepy satisfied way*

yes.

@sog7dc: Yes, please, cry more as you leave, mmm. Delicious tears.

I'm going to soak them off your floor when you sleep and drink them.

Cool. As a totally straight guy, congrats, Illinois.

Sorry to bother you if this seems irrelevant, but that just reminded me of From Her To Eternity by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds:

"And ah hear her crying too.
Hot-tears come splashin on down
Leaking thru the cracks,
Down upon my face, ah catch'em in my mouth!"

Congratulations Illinois, for endorsing love.

And to the homophobes:

They approve this which is good for who it applies to! Born and raised here. I love my home. I've stayed from Maywood all the way to the west side of Chicago, south side , and lastly up North on Kenmore. I've watched a lot of my friends get shot, I've heard about stories of how they died and been there at times. Law makers need to be worried about the death tolls there and the shootings. It just goes to show you what people are really worried about. I spent seasons wondering when and if things would change for the people, sadly they haven't. You'd think after WGN has reported those fake numbers of death and shootings (totals are actually higher) ,the government would pass laws to change life there for the better. But no! So this new is what the Tribune is reporting? Interesting. Once again um the new is great for those of whom it may apply to, especially any friends that I may have that's gay. I just think it's time to clean up the streets so people can enjoy the Chiago for what it is, instead of calling it Chiraq! There need to be serious change, and focus on the safety of the community.

Congrats.
