4. I believe marriage licenses for heterosexuals are recognized
by all states, but not those of same-sex couples. Perhaps, when enough states legalized homosexual marriage, a case will come before the SCOTUS, citing equal protection or something similar. But for that to happen, the state where the couple moved to would have to do something denying the couple rights that heterosexual couples have--and I'm not sure what these would be. Also I'm not sure what the outcome of the case before the Supremes would be.
