You may feel that way but your feelings are largely irrelevant to the functioning of the US political system. There is a thing called a Bill of Rights. The people simply cannot vote to abolish freedom of speech, or to establish a religion.
The question is whether the relevant judicial body thinks the banning of gay marriage violates the Constitution or not. It's a very risky political strategy for gays given the current Supreme Court. It might set back gay civil rights a couple of generations.
