    sapphirecommunity.com Sapphire is one of the longest-living and most famous communities on Bungie, with a history spanning over six years (this is not our first forum!), millions of posts, and so many in-jokes we had to create our own history archive to help us remember them all. Then we got tired of Bungie mistreating private groups and made our own website. Come and see what has made Sapphire the choice hangout for thousands of people since 2009 at sapphirecommunity.com

Illinois GOP attempts ouster of Party Chairmen who supported gay marriage

[url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/09/illinois-gop-gay-marriage_0_n_2843698.html]Link to article talking about it[/url] For those who don't know, Illinois may soon be another state that allows gay marriage. The bill passed the senate and will soon be up for voting in the house, which will be tough for it to pass since the House is more conservative, and most of the GOP is against gay marriage. They are so against it that members of the party where going to have a meeting to consider firing the Illinois GOP Party Chairmen because he spoke out in favor of the bill, and only stopped because they lacked the votes necessary to do so. Some you may be surprised why the bill would have to go through such difficulty to pass since Illinois always swings democrat in the presidential elections. Well that's because Illinois is pretty much a red state, [url=http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/images/1min/elections/2010/state/IL_governor_375.png]here is an example of what I mean by that, this map shows the election results during Illinois last governors race. Pat Quinn, a Democrat won the election even though he only did well in four county's out of 102. Why is that you ask? Well take a look at the county in the top left and see what city falls in it, it's Chicago. [/url] If Chicago did not exist, Illinois would pretty much be a red state, so that's why the gay marriage bill is experiencing so much resistance right now since a lot representatives come from those red counties, and many of those counties are rural farming towns which tend to be very conservative.
