Religious leaders, gay-rights advocates and other supporters of marriage equality presented petitions to two McHenry County lawmakers Monday in support of same-sex marriage.

Members of Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry, Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, and the United States Transgender Advocacy group in Wonder Lake met at the offices of state Sen. Pamela Althoff, R-McHenry, and state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, to show their support for marriage equality.

The Illinois Senate is expected to vote on marriage equality legislation this week.
