its not discriminatory.
likewise with gays, if the rule was, your gay so you cant marry anyone male or female, you might "might" have a case. But, they have the exact same rights to marry as any other person. there is no discrimination.

next, where in the constitution does it specifically spell out marriage rules.

this is not a constitutional issue, it is a states issue. there is no discrimination and there is no detriment to society as a whole by not allowing it.
