State Sen. Jim Oberweis is trying to convene a meeting with Republican lawmakers to talk about views Illinois GOP Chairman Pat Brady has expressed on same-sex marriage.

Oberweis, of Sugar Grove, said Thursday he wants to address Brady’s open support of same-sex marriage because it’s contrary to party lines. He said he recently sent emails to gauge interest in setting up a meeting to discuss the issue before a regular party meeting scheduled for April.

He said as someone with a business background, it raises red flags if a company’s CEO makes remarks contrary to an organization’s views. He said he wants to discuss whether Brady should continue to serve as chairman or if the issue can be resolved amicably.
