Because in this case you also have the "Full faith and credit clause":
Article IV
Section 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.
Section 2. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.
This is a moral issue, by the Constitution, if one state passes a law okaying gay marriage, then all states are required to honor that marriage. One state could force the issue on all. The Defense of Marriage Act is is Congress attempting to address that issue.
