No because race is not part of the institution of marriage so inter-racial marriage bans changed the meaning just as government intervention to demand marriage mean any 2 people.

Segregation was deemed by the Supreme Court to be discriminatory -- unconstitutional.

Gay marriage bans have not been found to be unconstitutional. Apples and oranges.

"Rights" have to emanate from somewhere. In our country the ones that being a human entitle you to our laid out in the Constitution in addition to some other defined rights. The claim that gay couples have a right to the government sanctioning their union with the term marriage is not existent in our Constitution nor has it been found in our Constitution according to ruling.

If the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage bans are not constitutional then I'd be all for the government imposing this law on the land. Until that happens, it is a societal choice rather than a matter of "rights" we are constitutionally entitled to.
