As my coach used to tell me, don't assume anything...
While states are required to extend full faith and credit to the laws of other states, the states have always been able to disregard marriages from other states that are against the public policy of their state. So, particularly after DOMA, one state can't force others to allow gay marriage. And if some court tried to overturn DOMA, as I have noted above, DOMA should be made an amendment to the Constitution. But the gibberish proposed above should not.

Okay, you at least recognize the very possible need for a constitutional amendment. The difference is that you think each state should be able to decide for itself whether or not to recognize homosexual marriage.
