This issue was recently decided in the Supreme Court earlier this year. Now that Utah's ban on same-sex marriage has been overturned, it would seem that the Court's formulation given below would indicate a restoration of Utah's right to define its own institutions. Unless, of course, they find some reason to deny the state this right which they apparently affirmed.
If the Utah law isn't reinstated, it would appear that the Court is becoming capricious.

States are free to define marriage as they wish (subject to Equal Protection and Due Process clause restraints), and the fight over “gay marriage” will continue in the states for yearscomment:
Doesn't look like a sweeping endorsement for the right of same sex marriage. But note that liberals are going to get what they wanted anyway. It's a matter of time before they impose this upon the nation the same way they did for abortion.
