Keep in mind that any proposed Amendment requires a 2/3 majority vote in both houses of Congress before going to the states. That’s a pretty difficult hurdle to clear at present.

You can also amend via a constitutional convention. That only requires 2/3 of the states to convene, and 3/4 to ratify. And since far more than 2/3 of the states have already taken steps against homo "marriage," I think the convention could be summoned. Ratification might be a little tougher but I think it could be done.

At any rate, it's our last stop before outright war.
