LGBT rights in Illinois
Illinois is seen as one of the most progressive states in the U.S. in regard to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights and often regarded as one of the most liberal states in the Midwestern United States. Same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 1962, after Illinois became the first U.S. state to repeal its sodomy laws. Same-sex marriage was banned by statute since 1996, but has since been legalized in November 2013, after the signature of then-Governor Pat Quinn on November 20, went into effect on June 1, 2014. Civil unions also have been legal statewide since 2011 and same-sex couples are also allowed to adopt children.
==Law regarding same-sex sexual activity==
On July 28, 1961, Illinois enacted the Laws of Illinois 1961, a new state law code, that became effective on January 1, 1962, and eliminated the state's sodomy laws. It was the first state to eliminate its sodomy laws and established an age of consent of 18. However, the code also made it a crime to commit a "lewd fondling or caress of the body of another person of the same sex" in a public place. In 1963, the legislature passed a new law that changed the words "the same sex" to "either sex."〔 In 1984, the "lewd fondling or caress" law was repealed and the age of consent was lowered to 16.
