I’d rather fight than just accept equality for gay people ends at state lines.
If we’d left things to states, Jim Crow would’ve stayed on the books for decades longer, and some states would still not have gay marriage.

Why stop there, though? Should the US invade countries that have worse rights for gay people, in order to "liberate" them? Both states and countries are (in some sense) just lines on a map, and ultimately you are using the threat of force if you are imposing a set of rules on people, whether you use an army to do so or not.
That said, supporting the fight for gay rights in other countries? Sure. There's a lot of daylight between "do nothing" and "invade with army."
