By Politicker Staff

[img_assist|nid=832|title=Attorney General Martha Coakley|desc=Flickr|link=none|align=left|width=210|height=208]Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) has authorized a 2010 ballot question to revisit the recent repeal of the 1913 law that prohibited out of state gay couples from getting married in Massachusetts.
