Of course, it was.  And predictably so, given the text of the 14th Amendment.  That's my point:  The text of the Fourteenth gives no hint that the States must redefine marriage --- got that? REDEFINE MARRIAGE --- so as to allow man to marry man.  Had you told the Framers of the 14th Amendment that that's what they were doing, they'd have guffawed and thought you a fool.
