Illinois bills that would update existing laws to be more gender inclusive and add protections for LGBTQ marriages are ready for action by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who said he will sign them.

The trio of state bills passed last week are meant to move the state in the “opposite direction” of those restricting LGBTQ youth, said Sen. Mike Simmons, the bills’ sponsor and the first and only current “out” LGBTQ lawmaker in the Illinois Senate.

Illinois is one of several U.S. states that have moved to counteract a surge of anti-LGBTQ legislation in mostly Republican-led states.

On the same day just a few hours away, Indiana’s governor signed a bill that will require schools to notify a parent if a student requests a name or pronoun change at school, one of several bills this legislative session targeting LGBTQ people in the state.

Illinois’ neighbors to the west, Missouri and Iowa, have gone in a similar direction by restricting gender-affirming care and the bathrooms transgender students can use.

The Illinois Democratic supermajority passed the bills out of the Senate on Thursday, and the measures now await Pritzker’s signature.

“The Governor is proud to support legislation that creates a more welcoming, affirming, and inclusive Illinois,” said spokesperson Alex Gough on Friday.

“In the face of rising violence and bigotry toward the trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming community, providing support and recognition for those who identify as LGBTQ+ has never been more important,” Gough said.

One bill would replace certain pronouns with the nouns to which the pronouns refer, such as “minor” instead of “he or she,” and “person who gives birth” in place of “mother” in some existing laws concerning children in the state’s care.

Before her “no” vote, Republican Caucus Whip Sen. Jil Tracy said: “I gave birth to two boys that weighed over 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms). I think I deserve more dignity that just ‘a person who gave birth.’ I’m a mother.”

The Illinois Family Institute, a Christian nonprofit, opposes all three bills.

David Curtin, the institute’s lobbyist, said the bill on pronouns is “tinkering” with terms that are legally important, and “there’s only two genders, and its male and female and him and her. So why not just stay with the program?”

Changing the language of laws “doesn’t change reality,” Curtin said.

Simmons said that the bill is primarily intended to affirm LGBTQ youth in the child welfare system, which a 2021 audit found that Illinois’ Department of Children and Family Services has failed to do.

Young people in DCFS’ care have “repeatedly” relayed to ACLU Illinois lobbyist Nora Collins-Mandeville “the challenges that they have with folks identifying their family members correctly or their own identities correctly,” she said.

“Language matters,” said Collins-Mandeville, who worked with Simmons on the bill. “Contrary to some of the opposition ... it actually includes more people and allows people to identify themselves.”

Another bill would require state agencies to track employees who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming to help achieve workforce diversity, and a third bill would make it easier for LGBTQ couples who resided in other states to marry in Illinois.

When the Supreme Court overturned the federal right to an abortion in June, the ruling included a concurring opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas that suggested the high court should review other precedent-setting rulings, including the 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

The marriage bill is meant to serve as fail-safe in case that decision is reversed, Simmons said.

“What we’re trying to do is get ahead of any actions that might be taken to invalidate Obergefell or any of those other cases that would have a direct and disastrous impact on LGBTQ households in the country,” he said, referring to the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

The Respect for Marriage Act, signed by President Joe Biden in December, enshrines the right to same-sex and interracial marriages in federal law.

For Chicago lawmaker Simmons, the three Illinois bills are personal. “There are so many other state legislatures right now that are making a sport of targeting my community,” he said.

“So many people fought so hard for me to even have the right to exist, to be able to be an out and proud, Black, LGBTQ+ state senator,” he said. But the current political climate is “dispiriting at times,” Simmons said.

“There’s several states that are going light years back on LGBTQ and civil rights.” he said. “Everything is going backwards.”

The Saint: The Imprudent Politician (3.10, ITC, 1964)

"Get me another brandy."

"You've had enough already."

"My dear wife doesn't realise that all my life, I've never had enough of anything. She doesn't understand me. Does your wife understand you, Mr. Vallance?"

"I'm not married. But my previous three wives understood me perfectly - which is why each marriage failed so dismally."

#the saint #the imprudent politician #1964 #itc #leslie charteris #norman hudis #john llewellyn moxey #roger moore #anthony bate #jennifer wright #justine lord #michael gough #maxwell shaw #jeremy burnham #mike pratt #jean marsh #john bryans #moray watson #jimmy gardner #edward dentith #what a humdinger! now this‚ this is the show at its best. when the Saint works (which.. it admittedly doesn't always‚ certainly not to its #full potential) but when it does it's a small joy. definitely among the best episodes for my money. partly that's down to cast; i mean what #an embarrassment of riches‚ Anthony Bate as the dodgy MP‚ Justine Lord as his mistress‚ Jean Marsh his sister and perhaps best of all #Michael Gough having the time of his life as her drunkard‚ bitchy‚ venomous layabout husband. and Mike Pratt and Jeremy Burnham.. it really #is a dream cast. and then there's the script: Hudis had been the writer on the first (and some would say best) Carry On films and he was a #dab hand at sharp‚ cutting dialogue. no surprise then that this ep is filled with snark and sarcasm (and an insinuation from Lord that #quite genuinely startled me in its suggestiveness). and to top it off we have Moxey directing‚ giving a lot more artistry than was perhaps #requested to scenes of an anxious Bate driving or a semi conscious Moore feeling woozy. the driving scene in particular (as Bate imagines #he hears admonishing voices‚ and drives ever more recklessly) is a very nicely done scene. I'm wary of over egging this and then having an #unnamed mutual watch it and be disappointed.. but i have to say this is perhaps the most wholly satisfying episode in my rewatch so far

Cast announced for "The Other Boleyn Girl" stage adaptation

The show features in Chichester Festival Theatre’s new season

As part of its upcoming 2024 season, Chichester Festival Theatre will present The Other Boleyn Girl, adapted by Mike Poulton from Philippa Gregory’s novel.

Gregory’s novel is set against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s court, where Mary Boleyn finds herself entangled in her family’s quest for power as Henry’s mistress, while her uncle schemes to place her on the throne amid Queen Katherine of Aragon’s inability to produce a male heir. However, Henry’s attention shifts to Mary’s sister, Anne.

The cast includes Jacob Ifan as William Carey, Kemi-Bo Jacobs as Queen Katherine, Alex Kingston as Lady Elizabeth, Peter Losasso as Francis Weston, Freya Mavor as Anne Boleyn, Lily Nichol as Jane Parker, Lucy Phelps as Mary Boleyn, and Andrew Woodall as the Duke of Norfolk. Chris Green and Sarah Harrison provide musical accompaniment.

Directed by Lucy Bailey, it runs from 19 April to 11 May at the Festival Theatre. Joanna Parker serves as the designer, with Chris Davey handling lighting design, Orlando Gough composing the music, Beth Duke managing sound design, Dick Straker overseeing video design, and Ayse Tashkiran as movement director. Susanna Peretz takes charge of wigs, hair & make-up, and Ginny Schiller CDG handles casting.

REVIEW: The Network - Money Money 2020 (2003)

Genre: New-Wave, Post-Punk Revival

A not-so-well-known band that *definitely* aren't Green Day and friends in masks, The Network are a band that were never going to make a splash. With very little marketing for their debut album "Money Money 2020" and releasing to little fanfare, this album has remained firmly out of sight for the last 2 decades. However, this New-Wave project does have a small cult-following of fans, and I'm happy to say that I've been one of them for the past few years. The album has a bit of a soft spot for me, and while its far from perfect, it's still one of the better rock records to come out of the early 2000s.

A large amount of the tracks make it very clear that The Network don't take themselves seriously in the slightest, with sarcastic lyrics that feel like they were written for a 60s sci-fi comic, and I mean that in the best way. Tracks like the opener "Joe Robot", as well as "Reto" take this angle to it's most extreme, with vocals delivered in a deliberately robotic way by Van Gough (who sounds an awful lot like Mike Dirnt) to great effect. The main vocalist for the record, Fink (bearing a striking resemblance to Billie Joe Armstrong), fits the more punk-oriented songs like "Supermodel Robots" and especially on highlight track "Spike", which details one half of a phone conversation of a deadbeat addict looking to get a fix.

Like I alluded to earlier though, the album does have it's flaws. While most of the instrumentation sounds great and is well written to fit the frantic space-age vibes the band were going for, the drums feel a little boring at times. They serve the songs, yes, but they're lacking the typical frantic fills of Tré Cool - I mean The Snoo. The quality of the lyrics also take a bit of a nose dive during the album's back end: tracks like "X-Ray Hamburger" and the unfortunately named "Sp*stic Society" feel more like they're just throwing random words at a wall to see what sticks, and very few of them do on those tracks.

Overall, it's a very fun but still flawed record that I can't help but love. Maybe if The Network had a go at pop-punk they'd be more popular.

Favourite Tracks: Supermodel Robots, Spike, Right Hand-A-Rama, Love and Money, Roshambo

Least Favourite Track: X-Ray Hamburger

Overall Rating: 7/10
