The AP story said the territory has a tradition of embracing faafafine—males who are raised as females and take on feminine traits. There are many faafafine who aren't supportive of gay marriage out of "respect for our Samoan culture and religious beliefs," said well-known faafafine Princess Auvaa. Faafaine is Samoan for "tranny" I guess. Gross.

This could be an interesting fight.
The federal courts have ruled the 14th Amendment does not apply to Samoa. Thus, Samoans are denied U.S. citizenship even though born on U.S. Territory and also don’t have the right to vote.
If the 14th Amendment (which covers equal protection) does not cover Samoa, I think there would be an argument the Obergefell decision does not affect Samoa either.
