Does anyone have the text of the proposed amendment? Does it outlaw gay marriage entirely, and ban any government from recognizing same, or does it simply state that the US Constitution shall not be construed to contain the right to gay marriage? The second option would stop federal judges from creating the right, while leaving the issue to the several states.

"Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman."
