every body in all states should have the same basic human rights like who to love.

While I understand the sentiment about having the same basic human rights, it's important to consider the diverse cultural and religious beliefs that exist within different states. For example, in some conservative communities, the traditional definition of marriage is held in high regard as a sacred institution. Legalizing same-sex marriage could be seen as a direct challenge to their deeply held beliefs.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on how we can balance the need for equal rights with the need to respect differing cultural and religious values.

i get your point but, as you said some communities believe marriage to between male and female.

These conservative communities and churches could vote on if they would allow people to love each other but besides its already a federal law that people are allowed to marry.

I know that a lot already are although there will always be a couple of prejudiced people who will want to stop people loving each other.

It's true that many religious communities are becoming more accepting of same-sex marriage. However, there are still some who maintain a strong opposition based on their interpretation of their religious texts. For example, the Mormon Church has taken a strong stance against same-sex marriage and has even excommunicated members who openly support it. This demonstrates that, despite societal progress, there are still instances where religious doctrine can create barriers to acceptance.
