How can states be required to recognize same sex marriages from other states if their own laws prohibit them? It’d be like states being forced to allow hookers to ply their trade because they’re from Nevada.

Most states don't allow 16-year-olds or first cousins to get married, but most do recognize such marriages if they were performed in a state that permits them.

I think the full faith and credit clause (Article IV Section 1) is often used in these arguments. I assume that will be argued in front of the Supremes.
