Constitutional Connection

According to the 14th amendment, “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Does this law not say that a state shall not deny a person the rights that they have as a resident of the United States? Doesn't everyone in the United States have the right to marry? I guess not. Some states make it illegal for same-sex couple to marry or to have a civil union. I do not see that as constitutional.
