Gay- marriage supporters were cleared Wednesday to begin collecting signatures on a petition to repeal Colorado’s same-sex-marriage ban.
A state board charged with approving proposed ballot measures voted 3-0 to allow a measure to repeal the ban, which voters placed in the state constitution in 2006. The measure would strike the ban and say marriage is allowed regardless of the participants’ gender.
Gay-marriage activists would need to collect about 86,000 valid signatures to make the 2012 ballot.
Proponents have conceded it will be a challenge to gather the signatures.
