Two groups that won a landmark ruling in federal court that struck down Nebraska's amendment banning same-sex marriage are urging an appeals court to uphold the ruling.

Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a brief Tuesday before a federal appeals court urging the court to let the lower court decision stand.

The groups say that U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon was correct when he ruled the measure interferes not only with the rights of gay couples but also with foster parents, adopted children and people in a host of other living arrangements.
