That's because that is not a rational basis since no one even bothers to ask if a couple can even have children? Marriage is not about children, and never has been. They are a common enough byproduct but that's all...The rational basis (procreation) was obfuscated and otherwise not presented at all.They can present a rational basis for discrimination, and therefore get the courts to declare it legal. In this case no rational basis could be found, so the anti-gay marriage laws got tossedSo how do states get away with denying drivers licences to blind people?The SCOTUS can not write law. But they CAN rule on the constitutionality of laws. And that is what they did. They ruled that the laws forbidding same sex marriage were unconstitutional. Without those laws, same sex marriage is legal.
