By wanting to deprive them of what the Supreme Court calls a basic civil right of man...

Here's what the opponents of interracial marriage argued in front of the Supreme Court:

en.wikipedia.org

Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.

You see, allowing the races to intermarry would be offensive to some religious people who believed it God's will that races should not.

But the Supreme Court ruled (in part):

Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man,"

I'm arguing this civil right applies to gay and straight alike. And to deny someone a basic civil right is to persecute them.
