Wrong.

Marriage is a fundamental and constitutionally protected right and has been so affirmed as just that by the Supreme Court of the United States 14 times in its history.

How many of those affirmed marriage as being between a man and woman?

I think you missed the point of my explanation. All those decisions were based on a reality where the government recognizes marriages. If it chose to stop doing so entirely, that would be another issue entirely. Once it has begun recognizing marriages (any marriages) it cannot infringe on people's right to choose their marital partners. That's what most of your cases were saying.
