The U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing marriage equality to move forward demonstrates that Bruce Rauner, the Republican candidate for governor, remains on the wrong side of history, the Equality Illinois Political Action Committee (Equality Illinois PAC) said Monday.
“Bruce Rauner says he would have vetoed the state marriage law if he was governor when it passed, and he says he would leave the door open to repealing it, though it appears the Supreme Court today slammed that door in his face,” said Nicole Bashor, chair of Equality Illinois PAC, the political arm of Equality Illinois.
“The Supreme Court decision is just another example that the tide of history is leaving him in the dust,” she said.
