I have to ask, what if an amendment was more narrowlly drawn to simply say, "Notwithstanding (the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution), no state shall be required to recognize marriage between two people of the same sex conducted in any other state"?

That would preserve the concept of Federalism, which the other amendment doesn't.

"That would preserve the concept of Federalism, which the other amendment doesn't."

The only problem is that a lot of us want gay marriage totally banned across the United States. I don't think that your proposed Amendment would do that.
