I will take one more stab at this, since you may not have seen the amended content of my post above.
You say, marriage is defined as a man and a woman. What if the Virginia legislature had said, marriage is defined as a man and a woman of the same race? That's not discriminatory (sez them). Anyone is free to marry someone of the same race. Exactly our situation here.
The fact that marriage laws refer to men and women shows that they have limiting classifications in them. That language wouldn't be necessary unless you wanted to treat men and women differently.
