The issue has nothing to do with anyone allowing the states to do anything; the states as a fact of Constitutional law lack the authority to have the last word as to who will have his civil rights and who will not (Cooper v. Aaron (1958)).So why don't you allow the states to vote then, and to have the last word on it in each state...
The Federal Constitution, Federal laws, and rulings by Federal courts are supreme, the states are subject to these laws and rulings, and may not enact measures offensive to the Constitution, such as laws denying same-sex couples access to marriage law.
