It's always funny seeing the sound bites politicians provide and their constituents spout off as if it makes them more knowledgeable


The equal protection clause doesn't mention gay marriage, no.  It also didn't mention segregation.  In fact Plessy v Ferguson was after the 14th amendment, and it was a Supreme Court decision that declared that Separate but equal satisfied the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.  Then in 1954 Brown vs Board of Education threw that all out. 


You then have Loving V. Virginia.  In 1967 it was declared that a ban on interracial marriage was unconstitutional due to the 14th amendment's equal protection clause.  Like Brown v. Board of Education it was a unanimous decision.  


I'm sure these people who were arguing Judicial Tyranny and wanting elected justices were fine with decisions like... Bush v Gore, and Citizens United case, as well as the Hobby Lobby case.
