"Equal protection is not being applied to the voters who voted to keep marriage biblical OR to their representatives who passed such laws."

From the Court's point of view this same argument could have been applied to the states that enacted the Separate but Equal Jim Crow laws.

Absent a Constitutional Amendment, this is a done deal. The legal basis is just not there to continue the ban.

Race is covered specifically in the 14th Amendment, but “sexual orientation” isn’t.
They aren’t the same analysis.
