I don't think there's an inherent conflict between the 10th and 14th Amendments, though... I think the answer is found in the 9th Amendment - people have the right to privacy regarding the circumstances of their marriage. If marriage is a right freely granted to consenting adults, then what Constitutional provision gives the State the right to draw distinctions between straight and gay citizens in exercising that right?
