Can't say I blame them for filing the suit. They have perverted the 14th amendment in declaring same-sex marriage a right. Without regard to the actual consequences of doing so. That court provided no reasoning that would preclude absurd outcomes from this.

If being faithful to the equal protection argument, same sex marriage bans are not violative of equal protection. Because marriage has always been between both sexes. If a state wanted to deny a gay man from marrying a woman, that would violate equal protection. It does not require that your own preferences for a spouse be accommodated.

So on that basis, why would these weirdos not think they had a pretty solid chance of having the court declare that "they are who they think they are" and rule accordingly? Glad it didn't work. Not glad that SCOTUS is going to weigh in on it. We already got a bullshit ruling from Gorsuch in employment law where "sex discrimination" suddenly became "sexual orientation discrimination." Not a fan.
