The move, go on vacation, visit relatives in other states, travel for business, etc. You cannot isolate gay marriage into just a few states. People move around too much. Isn't that the point of the Full Faith and Credit Laws? Bascially, what these states are saying to other states, is that we will recognize SOME of your states marriages, but not all of them. That is wrong. That is precisely what happened with the Interracial Marriage bans 50 years ago.
