Conservatives in Illinois suffered a major setback Tuesday when liberals in the House of the Illinois General Assembly garnered enough votes to send a bill giving special protection to homosexuals on to the desk of Democrat Governor Rod R. Blagojevich to be signed into law.

Senate Bill 3186 needed 30 votes in the Senate and 60 in the House to pass, and it got them, with five votes to spare in the House. Some conservative pundits are chalking the bill's passage up to effective strategy from supporters of the legislation and a lack of action from pro-family politicians that might have opposed it.

Now, because pro-family forces failed to act decisively, he points out, "the words 'sexual orientation have now been added to the Illinois Human Rights Act, equating that -- sexual behavior or sexual orientation -- with race, ethnicity and gender."

isn't it tied to gender?
discrimination based on the gender of the person involved in the sex.
"well... real men don't do blank" and "women shouldn't do blank"

gender sterotyping based on sexual activity.
