Wrong. It's called precedent. By allowing men to marry men and women to marry women, a precedent has been set that the definition of marriage is very much open to interpretation. If marriage cannot be limited to one man and one woman, then on what basis can it be limited? How can you tell three women they cannot be married when you've already allowed two of them to get married? And if you allow three women to marry would it not be discrimination to deny the same right to two women and one man?
I don't think you understand what the "precedent" said.
This is an equal protection issue. Without valid justification, you cannot deny equal protection under the laws. There's a valid justification for not allowing people related by less than 4 degrees marry. There isn't any valid justification (in the court's eyes) for not allowing two men or two women to marry.
