Convenants are over turned, invalidated, all the time. There are a surprisingly a large number of properties in this country with covenants that disallow black families from living there. Those are still written and on the books, but obviously not enforced and ignored because it violates a ton of Federal laws.
Another example is satellite dishes. Lots of HOAs, including my own have rules and convenants banning them, but FCC regulations override this.
Between fair housing act and ADA, I bet they will win. That's just at the Federal level. Oregon probably has their own set of state laws to leverage as well.
Finally the HOA has to defend this in open court, and it's not exactly a sympathetic position.
My money is on the family winning.
