Then no one was being denied their right to marry when it came to interracial marriage bans. If they were a black person, they could marry a black person. If they were a white person, they could marry a white person. So if you are of any race, you had the right to marry. Some simply wanted extra rights to marry outside of their race. They wanted to change the definition of marriage. It was about some people using the judicial system to comply with a minority's (interracial couples') wishes. The state of Virginia and South Carolina and Alabama and many more voted to keep marriage the same, no interracial couples, and a few judges overturned the will of the people.
See how horrible that argument is.
What's wrong with your argument is that marriage is between a man and a woman, No one wanted to change that. They wanted to ban certain marriages, and did for a while with the help of the courts. They wanted to narrow the definition of marriage and limit it to within races. That was an attack on the definition of marriage.
Marriage between a man and a woman has been attacked again, and again aided by the courts.
