How many states are needed before it becomes an auto Constitutional Amendment?

The next battle will be to force those amendments to be placed on the ballots in 2006, and NOT BEFORE. They will try to get special elections held for these. The special elections cost state taxpayers a lot of money, and it will save most of the money to put the issue on the regular ballot during the next election, which in many cases is 2006.

I think this is strictly a state thing. Each state can do this a lot
easier than going the U.S. constitutional amendment route.

I thought after 60%, it automatically becomes statutory constructed Law?

You've got me there. I don't know. 
I was thinking along the lines of what Cheney was saying about letting the states decide the issue. And it looks like the states are definitely going ANTI-gay marriage. Marriage is between a man and a woman.
Beyond that, well, I'm not a constitutional (or ANY kind of) lawyer.

Gay marriage, canine marriage, if it isn't a man and a woman it is just perversion looking for benefits from employers.

The next battle will be to force those amendments to be placed on the ballots in 2006... I expect to see this on Virginia's ballot next year for our Gubernatorial elections, where most likely a strong pro-life conservative Republican (Kilgore) be up against a strong pro-abort liberal Democrat (Kaine).

That's fine, as long as they don't get a special election just for this issue.

Virginia voters go to the polls every year. In even years we have the Federal elections, while in odd years we have the state and local races.
