To put this in perspective, if you are a heterosexual couple married in Sweden, and later move to the US, would it not be rational to expect the US government to recognize that you are legally married? Do you really think that the US government should force you to marry again? I oppose gay marriage, but a legal marriage is a legal marriage, and has to be recognized across state and international borders.

Marriage to a dog? Marriage to a 9 year old -we should recognize them as legal if they were legal in another country?

No way

You could not be more wrong. If you really do oppose “gay marriage”, you would never advocate its legal recognition.

That’s hogwash. An Imam marrying a 9-year-old in Saudi Arabia would certainly NOT, nor should he ever, be recognized as “married” to her in every other country.

But a union between a homosexual couple is not a marriage no matter what any government says.

So by your logic we need to be more tolerant of honor killings, slavery, and other atrocities that go on in foreign countries when those miscreants move here and bring it with them (ala Sharia law).
