What is this “equal protection” in the Constitution, and what does “protecting” have to do with LETTING someone marry?

After all, marriage cannot be a right if it requires at least 2 parties to agree to it. No-one has a “right” to marry. Only an opportunity.

This is the key!!! You are absolutely right about that. It is not a "right".

Excellent insight! It's to bad that uncommon common sense is needed to appreciate that insight.
