Marriage is not a Constitutional institution.

Unless the Supreme Court says it is, which is likely to happen. That's why we are having this discussion in the first place.

Did the SCOTUS make marriage a Constitutional institution in 1967, when it struck down bans on interracial marriage? Striking down bans on gay marriage would not explicitly put marriage into the Constitution, but an FMA definitely would.
