Not for nothing....but it's slightly more sinester than just "big gov" telling the little state govs what they can and can't do.
They've left it up to the states so far for whatever reason, but the courts are showing signs that the anti-gay laws most states have (and they do already have them in 38? ish states) can be struck down as unconstitutional.
Hence, the need for the constitutional amendment. It's not the states' hands W. is trying to take this out of....it's the courts'.
