Clearly because this is the creation of a new right that never existed before.
The citizens of CA spoke on this by referendum with a 22 point landslide victory stating that marriage was between one man and one woman. Unfortunately, when you can't win in the public square, you can always ignore the will of the people by getting four robed tyrants to impose your vision on the rest of society. Really, it's much easier to just resort to tyrany than convince your fellow citizens, isn't it?
