Sorry you live in such a messed up state, but the last thing this country needs is a Mass plaintiff asking the US Supreme Court to make your gay marriage the law of the land.

One has nothing to do with the other and I do not live in Mass. The court was being asked to restore the constitutional order in Massachusetts. Article IV section 4 of the US Constition guarantees to every state a republican form of government. That means that the people's representatives make the laws, not the courts.

And if you think this means the Supremes will not rule on the marriage issue themselves, imposing it nationwide, then you didn't read the Lawrence decision. They declined because they are pro-gay marriage and are just waiting to impose it on all. The cases are already in the works.
