Would the existence of a state law, not a constitutional right, guaranteeing equal rights (of some sort) not provide ample reason?

So the purpose of that clause is to nullify state laws, enacted by
an elected legislature, that either provide equal civil union rights to gays, or that in general terms require non-discrimination against gays under state laws, and the CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT is designed to prevent a court from finding a right to civil unions in a legislative enactment, when that issue could be resolved more clearly by a contrary enactment by the state legislature or an amendment to the statute?
I'm sure the state legislatures will all be grateful to be put through their paces on ratifying a FUCKING AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION to be saved the trouble of limiting a state law that might be construed by a court as requiring civil unions, or the trouble of later overturning such a statute if it is every successfully so used by an "activist judge."
