You're right, him changing his view doesn't change the fact that many, many states have laws or amendments banning gay marriage. But it does show that the tone in America IS changing, even while the anti-gay movement is pushing through some of the worst anti-gay laws. Basically they see the situation changing fast, so they're trying to get as much on the books as they can, in the hopes that it'll be hard to get rid of pretty much... but even many younger Republicans now aren't opposed to gay marriage. It's mostly an age thing, older people are opposed.
