The US Constitution does not explicitly speak of the requirements for obtaining a marriage license, nor of the legal recognition of marriages. This aspect of family law has historically been left up to the individual states.

A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state.

How does Article 6 of the US Constitution override States' rights to legalize same-sex marriage?
It doesn't. I believe you are asking why doesn't the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") prevent a state from permitting same-sex couples to marry because of Article VI of the Constitution. Article VI says, in part: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby...." However, DOMA does not purport to outlaw same-sex marriage in states seeking to permit them. DOMA says only that such unions cannot be recognized for purposes of federal law, and that individual states are permitted to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. DOMA does not prevent a state from enacting its own definition of marriage, a subject which has always been a matter of state law, not federal law.

What must a state recognize about all other states?
Various states must recognize legislative acts, public records, and judicial decisions of the other states within the United States. (Article IV, Section 1, US Constitution). An exception to the above can be made by Congress (which is empowed by the same section of the Constitution to regulate how such acts are recognized). An example of this is the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996, which allows states to ignore any marriage between same-sex members performed in other states. The DoMA itself has significant Constitutionality questions, which are in active litigation.
