. . . No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

If gay people and straight people all have the right to marry unmarried adults of the opposite sex who are not close relatives, that is equal protection. Any other ruling is outside the constitution and illegitimate.

Well, it’s sad that activists felt they had to re-engineer a social institution in an unprecedentedly twisted way. Likening this to cross-cultural or cross-racial marriage is ludicrous. The hate is coming from the advocates of such arrangements, not from those who protest their being lent dignity by the state.
