The pro-SSM arguments failed on substance on the law/constitution and on basic reasoning. Abuse of judicial review gave the pro-SSM side it's wins. Marriage is a type of sexual relationship that is two-sexed and provides for responsible procreation. That core meaning justifies the special status of the social institution of marriage in civilization. None of this is based on unjust discrimination. It is reasonable. Contrary to the marriage idea, the SSM idea is arbitrary and arises from unjust discrimination in favor of bay identity politics. It places group identity above all other considerations so that government owns civil society and strips naked the individual of the protective layers of social institutions. The SSM idea is a brazen attempt to empower Government (big G not small g government) to takeover civil society. From citizen to ward of the State, conception to death, in mind and body. The soul less levithian begets the fatherless and motherless and soulless slaves. The anti-marriage idea is as huge and as severe as that.
