PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER) -- The group that wants to repeal Maine's new gay marriage law with a referendum vote says it has gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot in November.

Stand for Maine Marriage is a coalition of several groups that includes Maine's Catholic diocese.

Spokesman Marc Mutty says, in just four weeks, the group has collected more than the 55,000 signatures needed to put the measure on the ballot. Those signatures still have to be validated by the Secretary of State's office. Mutty says Stand for Maine Marriage will continue to gather signatures to make sure there are enough valid ones on the petitions.
