Janet has it right when she tweeted: No state ever HAD a "gay marriage ban," so how can courts strike these phantom "bans" down? Media, the laws uphold marriage. Big difference.
They would look bad if they called it annulling/appealing/striking down the law of proper marriage. But rather, they twist the terminology to make the right wrong and the wrong right. They have to make up "gay marriage ban" to mean proper marriage, so that it is the "ban" that is at fault, as if "gay marriage" was the original establishment.
