At that point you would likely need a compelling state interest, so probably not.

I'm asking this hypo based on this state judge's recent ruling in this case where he said “family continuity and stability is certainly a legitimate state interest.”

The compelling state interest would be determined by the legislature. The state legislature wouldn't be taking marriage away, only promoting a particular type (natural marriage).
