Yep...its pretty much a state issue now.
WIth several states sanctioning same-sex marriages, others recognizing civil unions, and others with state constitutional amendments defining "traditional" marriage with some limitations on benefits to civil unions
The federal role is limited to DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) which allows states to deny recognition to (gay) marriages performed in other states.
THe Democratic platform calls for a repeal of DOMA. The Republican platform calls for a Constitutional amendemt that "fully protects" marriage from any redefintion by any state.
