They confirmed marriage in general is a right, adopting the same language as Loving v Virginia (which permits interracial marriage). By the Equal Protection concept, government can’t protect rights for some and not others. The same legal logic protects gay marriage and interracial marriage in the US. Both rulings are much stronger than Roe, but not as strong as an actual law passed by Congress.
