A Canadian citizen won't be influenced. One seeking naturalization would, over the course of the seven year process.
And now we come to the matter of choice.
You choose to be gay and married, and wish to accrue the benefits of America's lower taxation rates? Until the law changes, stay in Canada. Gee, looks like you have to make a choice. What is more important: being a US citizen, or your marriage?
*fast forward a few years*
Things change in the US, the choice changes, most likely in a favorable direction.
If you want to emigrate into the US, you have to play by US rules. If you want to emigrate to France, you must play by French Rules. If you want to emigrate to Saudi Arabia, Mrs. Smith, then put on the burka and sell the hot pants before you leave.
No one has the 'right' to unlimited choice. The world is not that homogenous, yet. Maybe in time it will be.
