A judge who is raising a kid in a same sex marriage tried to overturn the law against gay marriage in Oregon. However, a group that thinks marriage should be defined the union of a woman and a man is fighting it; they asked a federal appeals court on Monday to postpone the proceedings, and allow for the group to intervene in the hearing. Judge Michael McShane will rule today on a lawsuit that was brought on by four gay and lesbian couples who are challenging the ban, which was approved by voters around a decade ago. The ban was approved by 57% of the voters. About 3,000 gay couples were allowed to marry before a judge halted the practice. The Oregon Supreme Court later invalidated the marriages.
