Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan will supoprt two lawsuits questioning the constitutionality of the state's gay marriage ban.
Madigan's office filed a notice with the Cook County Circuit Court saying that it plans to present arguments that explain why ''the challenged statutory provisions do not satisfy the guarantee of equality under the Illinois Constitution.''
The lawsuits brought by the ACLU and New York-based Lambda Legal represent 25 gay couples, including two from Springfield.
