It says that fed and state courts/law shall not be construed as requiring same rights to gays. It does not say that they are prohibited from doing so. I read this to require the states to take specific action via the legislature (i.e., the people) in order to recognize civil unions, meaning that general provisions regarding marriage/incidents thereof cannot be applied absent specific authority.
