No expert, but it seems that a specific constitutional amendment specifying what marriage is (one man/one woman) would trump a general one about equality and non-discrimination, unless there's some first-in-time, first-in-right interpretative maxim.
The one man/one woman thing is in the CA Family Code. The claim is that the constitutional equal protection/due process provisions trump the statute.
