They live in this little fantasy bubble world where 3/4ths of the people in the U.S. hate gays and want to fight gay marriage like they do.There's precedent.Ex Post Facto
Possession of fully automatic firearms being one; one day they were legal, the next day they were not.
Same could happen with a well written amendment.
Of course, if we ever get a Congress with the balls to allow the people to make this decision, we will probably already have a SCOTUS that knows calling a cat a dog does not make a cat a dog.
Do you know what it takes to pass an amendment to the constitution?
It takes two thirds of both the House of Reps and two thirds of the Senate to pass it. Then the president must sign it.
Even then it's not an amendment.
It must go to the states to be ratified. Three quarters of the states must ratify it for it to become an amendment to the constitution. Which means that 37 of the 50 states must ratify it.
Good luck with that.
