ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The sponsor group of an initiative to extend legal protections prohibiting discrimination against LGBTQ people has collected 13,515 signatures from Anchorage registered voters in support of putting the measure on the city's April 2012 ballot.

Anchorage city clerk Barbara Gruenstein said that would take until sometime next week for her office to review the signatures, but that supporters only needed 5,871 valid signatures.
