Gay Rights Referendum Could Get On Ballot

The Miami-Dade County Commission is moving closer to putting a gay rights referendum on the ballot.

The referendum would ask if sexual orientation should be removed from the existing human rights ordinance.

A group calling themselves SAVE Dade opposes the referendum and is questioning the signatures on a petition supporting it.

"I would like to call on our state attorney to make sure that every signature is valid ... if not, we shouldn't have to vote on anything," said a SAVE Dade representative.

Two conservative groups gathered signatures for that petition.

Right now it looks like the referendum will be on the Sept. 10th ballot.
