Because state rights are so 1800s.
You are grossly oversimplifying. Reasonable limits need to exist on states rights to prevent tyranny of the majority within that state against the minority groups. We can't wait on the individual states themselves to come around to the simple reality of their immoral and outdated beliefs. If we had done that with segregation, we'd either still have a few southern states with it to this day, or we would have only just seen the last one give it up and move on within the last decade or so.
They had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern era back then, and they will need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern era yet again on this issue. If we wait, we won't see same sex marriage rights until 2050 or later in my home state of Georgia, and other states down here. This is going to end up back in front of the US Supreme Court much sooner than later at this rate, and these people better come up with an actual non-religious legal justification for what they want to do, because as we saw last time just standing there thumping the bible is not a valid argument.
They lost, and they WILL lose again.
