On this issue, neither of our major parties satisfy me. However, this sounds somewhat hopeful to me. I thought all Republicans despise homoesexuality. I thought most Democrats pretty much dodge it (by granting equal rights under civil unions). But, read the last bit (copied from the FOX News report listed above):

Several Republican senators have said they're wary of amending the Constitution, the nation's two-centuries-old founding document, before exhausting all other avenues.

And some senators, Republican and Democratic, simply oppose the idea.

"Nuts," said Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I. "To be seen as the party that's coming between two people that love each other doing what they want to do ... to me that's going to be seen as a liability, politically."

I'm glad to hear it expressed that way. Marriage is about love and committment. Not procreation (we've got that covered as a species). Not morality (God and the Church can handle that). It is simply human decency and a right guaranteed in the constitution. You don't start patching the constitution because you're uncomfortable with something.
