Only with he had used the word “marriage” in the below verse. Most democrats are too stupid to realize he was talking about trying to redefine marriage.

“We praise and thank you for granting us the life and the liberty by which we can pursue happiness. Show us anew that happiness is found only in respecting the laws of nature and of nature’s God. Empower us with your grace so that we might resist the temptation to replace the moral law with idols of our own making, or to remake those institutions you have given us for the nurturing of life and community”

You are exactly right. "Nature and nature's God" is a reference to Natural Law; "institututions You have given us for the nurturing of life" refers to marriage instituted by Divine and Naural Law; but not 1% of the DNC listeners would have caught that.

If the gay activists, for instance, had "caught" that, there would have been howling. Wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Unfortunately, it was "dog-whistle" signal for the ears only of believers like us, NKP_Vet.
