The US isn't a democracy, it's a constitutional republic. The government has no right to deny marriage between members of the same gender any more than they have a right to deny marriage between members of different genders, but more importantly the majority doesn't have a right to tyrannize the minority.
Leaving it up to states may sound nice, but it really doesn't make sense to me. Why not leave slavery up to states? Or abortion? It's not an issue that's meant for a vote. This is about rights, and rights shouldn't be voted on.
