'It's just fairness, y'all' - Illinois State Senator Rick Hendon on why he voted for civil unions



If you haven't seen this video yet, you had better.

The Illinois Legislature passed a bill for civil unions and state Senator Rick Hendon gives a speech on why the bill is important.

This speech breaks it down on a level that's sorely missing in the national debate over marriage equality. Watch it and be impressed.

And yes (I don't mind saying this), it does my heart good to see that this is coming from a black man.
