jwalsh07,

Read Loughran v. Loughran. The US Supreme Court said that DC did not have to recognize a legal marriage from Florida because such a marriage would be against the laws of DC.

Translate to today. Tennessee would not have to recognize a potential legal gay marriage from Massachusetts if the marriage is against the laws of Tennessee.

FF&C has never been used to force a state to violate its own laws.
