is that the court's ruling didn't change what marriage was, it ruled that the government cannot treat races seperately.No-its realitySilly argument. The point was the state cannot have men treated differently based on the race. Marriage is a state legality and the government cannot tax people and treat them differently. That doesn't men gender no longer matters. How could it?No more than we needed a constitutional amendment to recognize the legality of mixed race marriages.
That is exactly the question the Supreme Court is deciding on this year. And whatever the Supreme Court decides will be binding.

And back to my point- "no more than we needed a constitutional amendment to recognize the legality of mixed race marriage"
States said "no marriage between a black man and a white woman"- Supreme Court said such a ban was unconstitutional as marriage is a right
States said "no marriage between a man and a man"- Supreme Court will rule on whether such a ban is unconsitutional or whether such bans violate American's rights.
Whether the issue is race or sexual preference or gender- the Supreme Court can rule on whether marriage bans are constitutional or not.
