Same-sex marriage backers say they have the support

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Gay marriage supporters say they will have enough signatures to put the issue on a ballot next year.

FreedomOhio leaders say they will collect more than the 385,000 signatures needed to ask voters in November to reverse a ban they enacted in 2008.

The group is touting a poll that shows 56% of respondents support the Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment.

The constitutional amendment allows same-sex couples to get marriage licenses from courthouses but does not require churches to perform or recognize the marriages.
