On the subject of gay marriage:
Ahem,

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; ... nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
-U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV, Section 1, ratified July 9, 1868

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution."
-U.S. Constitution, Article VI, written 9-17-1787, became law 6-21-1788 when New Hampshire ratified it in a 57-47 vote.

Hmph. Seems pretty clear to me.
