CHICAGO — A survey indicates thousands of same-sex couples are marrying in Illinois.

Not surprisingly, Cook County had more marriages or conversions than any other county. But the marriages and conversions were reported all across the state, with only nine counties saying they didn’t record any.
Another five counties did not respond to the survey.
