Hardly activism to support the equal protection clause.
It's activism if you are distorting the meaning and intent of the amendment to reach a desired end by illegitimate means, by intellectually dishonest means.
The Supreme Court did something similar regarding the understanding of the amendment intended to define slaves as full citizens of the US.

Congress's intent was clear, but that didn't stop them.
All forms of group marriage should be legal as well, as should time limited marriages and any other variants people want to come up with. The governments only legitimate role in marriage is as the enforcer of contracts.
