Was it called marriage? How obscure is the reference? 

Listen, even if you do find an obscure example, the main point I am making is that Christians believe that God ordained marriage as we have viewed it for all of history. You have to have your head up your ass to think that 5 people on the supreme court can redefine such a word/concept--against the majority view of the population--and there would not be any objections.

What majority view?  You're talking out of your ass, Steve.  Obergefell v. Hodges was in mid-2015.

Quote:National support [for same-sex marriage] rose above 50% for the first time in 2011 and has not gone below that mark since then. National support rose to 60% for the first time in 2015 and has not gone below that mark since then. Support continues to rise while opposition continues to fall each year, driven in large part by a significant generational gap.

Wikipedia || Public opinion of same-sex marriage in the United States

Quote:Poll: Support for same-sex marriage is now the majority position in 44 states

Few aspects of public opinion have seen change as rapid as Americans' views on same-sex marriage.

And a new poll from PRRI shows that an idea that was nearly taboo as late as the 1980s has become the majority position across all major ethnic and racial groups and among all but a handful of states.

The study finds that 61 percent of Americans overall support same-sex marriage, while only 30 percent are opposed.

That support includes majorities of white (63 percent), black (52 percent) and Latino (61 percent) Americans, as well as majorities of all major religious groups with the exception of white evangelical Protestants (34 percent support/ 58 percent oppose) and Mormons (40 percent support/ 53 percent oppose).

It's also the majority position in 44 states. The exceptions: Alabama (41 percent), Mississippi (42 percent), Tennessee (46 percent), West Virginia (48 percent), Louisiana (48 percent), and North Carolina (49 percent). And Alabama is the only state where a majority says they oppose same-sex marriage.
