Someone stopped African Americans from attending certain "white" schools, until the Supreme Court found cvil rights violations. The same could be said for privately owned cafes and the like. This is the great weakness of your argument. Heterosexual marriage laws are abused and exploited. Heterosexual couples have high rates of STD's, per rates of marital unfaithfulness. I don't see that anything you've said here has much to do with "equal protection under the law," which I would enourage you to read the 14th Amendment anew.

what protection are they needing? What right is being violated when homosexuals are not allowed to marry. There is no right being violated.
