This makes the Full Faith and Credit clause that much more interesting... Gay marriage has just been made legal in all 50 states. Please research the Defense of Marriage Act and the Marriage Protection Act.

Please research the Defense of Marriage Act and the Marriage Protection Act.Facially unconstitutional.
This Supreme Court will overrule it in five minutes.

I guarantee the Defense of Marriage Act will be overturned. It is blatantly unconstitutional. State's MUST recognize the civil decisions and rulings of all states.
I'm afraid the only way around this is by a constitutional amendment, and even then that will limit the scope of the refusal to recognize same-sex marriage to a federal level only.
