“...suggesting he is OK with states legalizing gay marriage through popular vote.”
Me to but look at the numbers. Every time a vote has come up it’s been crushed by 70% of the populate.
The only way they (’they’ meaning those people trying to dictate/destroy our morals/society) can ever get any bill like this passed is by legislation or judicial fiat.

Which is Newts point.
“Every time a vote has come up it’s been crushed by 70% of the populate.”
The average the amendments have passed by is 67%, if I recall. Most of have been passed in the middle of the last decade. Seven states have passed them in the 50%-60% ranges, most were much higher. The lowest of these was SD and CA, both passing amendments by 52%. I wouldn’t be shocked if prop.8 failed to pass if it was voted on now. Twenty years ago “gay marriage” wasn’t even an issue.
To dismiss the possibility that the voters of a state will always vote against the homosexual agenda and “gay marriage” doesn’t make sense when you look at the numbers, in my opinion. A soon as they think they have the numbers, they will quit howling about their civil rights being infringed by the majority, and howl for a popular vote. They won’t need our black robed masters or pol cronies if they can win a popular vote.
As far as the state is concerned the current definition of marriage is simply whatever judges, pols or the majority thinks it is at any one time.
