Under what order would Alabama have to recognize the marriage, the Commerce Clause? Where in the US code does it say something to that effect?
I vote Conservative, it’s not my fault that elected NY Republicans are spineless puddles of mud. Also, I don’t remember ever being asked by my local representative my opinion on the matter, compounded with them holding a vote late at night, when most people are sleeping.
Petition your local representatives to propose a bill to not honor a same-sex marriage from another state. You have the right to, and your state has the right to under the 10th Amendment.
The contracts clause and the full faith and credit clause.
The Congress recognized this issue and passed the defense of marriage bill. That will ultimately be declared unconstitutional as our country continues in its moral decline.

In today's judical atmosphere, such a law would be declared an unconstitutional impairment of a contract.
Tell me such a law would be upheld under the following test:
The Supreme Court laid out a three-part test for whether a law violates the Contract Clause in Energy Reserves Group v. Kansas Power & Light 459 U.S. 400 (1983). First, the state regulation must substantially impair a contractual relationship. Second, the State "must have a significant and legitimate purpose behind the regulation, such as the remedying of a broad and general social or economic problem." 459 U.S. at 411-13 Third, the law must be reasonable and appropriate for its intended purpose.
