DOMA Overturned

From Yahoo News:
"Federal gay marriage ban is ruled unconstitutional"

The DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) was ruled unconstitutional. I think it isn't the Federal Government's role to decide who can and cannot marry. The States should decide the marriage requirements for themselves. Actually I think that every State should have a referendum where the ordinary people vote whether to allow gay marriage or not. I know many States have changed their State Constitutions to outlaw gay marriage and some States have made gay marriage legal without taking into account what their residents want. In both cases, the decision should be made by the residents of each State and the results of their voting should then determine whether gay marriage is allowed or not.
