My point is that the government has to tread very, very carefully when it
decides to deny something to a group.

When it actively decides to deny something to a group, yes.

But I don't consider granting things to some people to be the same as denying them to others.

Granting tax credits to taxpayers who have children isn't the same thing as denying tax credits to childless couples. Paying for a canal in Louisiana isn't the same as denying funds for a canal in Oregon. Denial has to be active. The marriage law isn't.
