From MSNBC:

Entering a national debate over gay marriage, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley said he would have "no problem" with Cook County issuing marriage licenses to gay couples in Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city. Daley's views came as President Bush said he was "troubled" by San Francisco’s same-sex wedding spree.

Daley urged sympathy for same-sex couples because "they love each other just as much as anyone else."

Chicago mayor Daley also dismissed a suggestion that marriage between gay couples would undermine the institution. "Marriage has been undermined by divorce, so don’t tell me about marriage," he said. "Don’t blame the gay and lesbian, transgender and transsexual community."
