Yes, the government has no legitimate or compelling interest in denying marriage rights to same-sex couples, nor to discriminate against some citizens because of their sexual orientation, nor to codify some people's religious belief into civil law.

How do you write a topic sentence for an argument on whether same-sex marriage should be legal?

First, you need to decide whether you are for or against gay marriage. Then think about why you feel the way that you do. Personally, I am for gay marriage. I would say something like "It is unconstitutional to create laws that restrict the rights of one group of people, therefore gay couples should be allowed to marry an enjoy the same rights as heterosexual married couples." It's a starting point for your paper and should summarize what it all boils down to for you. Don't argue someone else's statement.
