Amendment 14, Section 1

‘No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’

‘On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court held in a 5-4 decision that same-sex marriage is protected under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.’

Amendment 14, Section 5

‘The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.’

As far as I’m concerned, states rights mouth breathers can take the L here.
