The Full Faith and Credit Clause has never been used to force a state to accept a marriage that it did not want to accept.
This amendment is not needed.

Homosexual marriage will be ordained by SCOTUS through the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, not FFC.
A marriage amendment is necessary to the preservation of marriage.

Good point. Do you know of any case law on this? The only two case-types that I can think of that would have been possible to date are 1) interracial marriage, when that was still illegal in some states, and 2) marriages involving one or more parties who were underage in a state they were living in, but whose marriage had been legal under the marriage-age laws of the state where they were married (still a lot of state law differences there, to this day).
