I don't know what you mean by voters. Since the gay marriage issue was decided by the courts instead of legislatures.

Technically, the courts interpreted the legislation that was already passed as allowing gay marriage.

If there was a political, legislative will, "the people" could pass an amendment to the law specifying that gay marriage is not allowed or protected.

To be generous and read between the lines, the Supreme Court eventually comes around to opinions that agree with a majority of Americans.The idea of it as an apolitical organization is to ignore reality.
Not in free states like Washington. The voters decided.
