By CATHY SANTOS • November 30, 2010

The Illinois House has just passed a controversial bill that would allow civil unions between same-sex couples (61-52-2).

Representatives Ron Stephens and David Reis were the only two Republicans to speak out against civil unions during the House floor debate. Republicans Bill Black and Mark Beaubien rose in support.

Republican State Representatives who voted “yes” are:

Suzanne Bassi

Mark Beaubien

Bill Black

Elizabeth Coulson

Rosemary Mulligan

Skip Saviano

With passage in the House, the civil unions bill now moves to the Senate.

The bill is SB1716.
