I interrupt my supreme court porning to bring you this little tidbit of wisdom from Abington School District v. Schempp:

(From the opinion of the court, written by Justice Clark)

"When the power, prestige and financial support of the government is placed behind a particular religious belief, the indirect coercive pressure upon religious minorities to comform to the prevailing officially approved religion is plain"

and that is a big big no-no. Furthermore:

"Further, it is no defense to urge that the religious practices here may be relatively minor encroachments on the First Amendment. The breach of neutrality that is today a trickling stream may all too soon become a raging torrent..."

So what that means is:

"...matters of faith cannot be decided by majority vote."

This was in 1963. So really, people, give up the outlawing gay marriage in State law. Amendments to the constitution are a different story, but I'm confident the president cannot get anything past any house of representatives. He just does not have sufficient 2/3 and 3/4 support.
