If States license same sex marriages the Fourteenth Amendment may mandate the issuance of categories of marriage licenses akin to types of state diplomas....
Pregnancy is never a consequence of sexual relations in same sex marriage. No spouse in a same sex marriage who elects to have a child by natural means can do so without committing adultery.
100 percent of births to persons in same sex marriages are out-of-wedlock. No spouse in a same sex marriage who elects to have a child by natural or artificial means can do so without proliferating out-of-wedlock-births.
These two facts alone establish that while male-female unions and same-sex unions both may be labeled marriage, they are fundamentally different institutions with divergent and conflicting impacts on the vested interests of the State in encouraging orderly propagation of the species within marriage and discouraging out-of-wedlock births.
The Constitution may require the State to offer (i) heterosexual male-female marriage licenses, (ii) homosexual male-male marriage licenses and (iii) homosexual female-female marriage licenses if it elects to redefine marriage to encompass same sex couples. A marriage union is the only institution in society which the State licenses as a vehicle for orderly propagation of the species. Exempting same sex couples and not heterosexual couples from the societal norm that propagation of the species within the marital union serves valid vested interests of the State “rejects the long established precept that the incidents, benefits, and obligations of marriage are uniform for all married couples within each State.”

Why MUST it be called marriage?
I wouldn’t mind some sort of civil union, with a big asterisk. The consequences... divorce law, pooling of assets, access to HIPAA medical info... aren’t that disruptive. But it isn’t marriage... family, usually with the goal of reproduction. Why pretend?
Why MUST it be called marriage?
This.

3-place sign on dog that reads “5 legged dog”.
Me, my goat and mother all want to be married. We couple severally. The goat needs the veterinary benefits and inheritance rights. What’s the problem again?
The problem is the cost of the legal papers, haha.
It just isn’t marriage, is it? It’s something else.
Plan B __
The Supreme Court may find a constitutional right to same sex marriage.
Plan B: (labeling same sex marriage as different and distinct from male-female marriage) will take some of the bloom off the right to homosexual marriage.
Well, the bloom is important, apparently. But, it’s not the same thing.
Is it such a big deal to put an asterisk next to the name of the steroid enhanced baseball home-run record holders?
It isn’t supposed to be a big deal—rather it’s the law—that illegals’ driver licenses be distinguishable from those of citizens. Of course, because of the Motor Voter push to register anyone, the different license classes are virtually indistinguishable. Never mind that the licenses shouldn’t have been given in the first place!
If fedgov can just take over a states rights issue, what’s to stop it from declaring all state CCW laws invalid? What’s stopping them from declaring any laws they don’t like at the state level, invalid?
And what will be the point of individual states then?
This is where it leads. This would lead to internal war.
You are correct.
Elections matter.
