Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

Another reason I have is the distinction between justice and beneficence. The law should enforce justice and prevent or punish those who harm others. It should not enforce beneficence and force people to do good to each other, that has to be chosen and acted on freely.

And?
All of that concerns justice except the general welfare clause, which later in the Constitution is a restriction that laws serve all, not benefit some to the detriment of others. In the OP case, the protection of general welfare would mean protecting each parties right to choose to associate and contract.

Rules for how we should live should have been decided by legislatures. If the legislatures have not addressed an issue under the Constitution then it is up to the states and the people to choose. Not the courts.
You conflate issues decided where there is a Constitutional basis for a decision versus decisions decided without regard to the Constitution, law, or our history.
