Not exactly.
God defined marriage.
States, and federal courts, have a duty, if we are to have just laws and law enforcement that accords with reality, to agree with Him.
Yup. For many they haven’t agreed with Him since civil divorce and remarriage, for many more since the advent of serial civil divorce and remarriage.
Even if states have the ‘right’ to define marriage as it applies to civil law, well I bet we are less than 20 years away from every state being vulnerable to accepting ‘gay marriage’ by popular vote. Of course that’s assuming there won’t be some massive shift in the culture.

While I agree with you, I wasn’t clear. My fault. I meant under the Constitution. (The States or the people, actually, since defining marriage wasn’t specifically delegated to the Fed.)
