The biggest boycott on the state gay marriages ban will happen on Wednesday in Cincinnati.

Lawyers and supporters will join hand-in-hand to convince the three judges from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to lift the ban on gay marriages.

Judge Paul Kelly, who was appointed by former President George H.W. Bush, is said to be skeptical on the gay marriage rights, while Judge Carlos Lucero, who was appointed by former president Bill Clinton, is reported to be in favor.

On the other hand, George W. Bush-appointed Judge Jerome Holmes is on the neutral side.

The states of Michigan, Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky have locally fought for the legal conflict separately. Each of the states have filed different lawsuits, demanding for various rights of same-sex couples like child adoption, marriage certificates and other tax exemptions that are being enjoyed by heterosexual marriages.

Atty. Al Gerhardstein, the head lawyer challenging the Ohio gay marriage ban, said that they prepared for the upcoming arguments to be posed by the opposition.

As for the advocates of same-sex marriage, the year's struggle to fight for their rights will come down to the event on Wednesday.

Gay rights advocates and other organizations said they are optimistic that the panel would be able to provide them the rights that they have been demanding for for years.

However, the advocates do not consider their optimism as a "premature" victory. They still have to wait for the final decision from the panel. Two out of three votes will win the decision.

Legal experts said that the advocates could use the backgrounds of the panel to somehow predict the ruling.

However, Atty. Pierre Bergeron, an experienced lawyer who used to file cases with the three panels, said background analysis is just "too simplistic." The upcoming hearing will be a representation of the all the courts in the country, he said.

He also noted that there could be a possibility of political inclination of liberal-conservative bias but he does not think it will be the "driver at the end of the day."

Wednesday's court hearing will be a three-hour stretch of arguments from all the states who filed for gay marriage rights. The arguments will begin from Michigan to Ohio, followed by Kentucky and then Tennessee.
