Full faith and credit would be an issue even if married gay Massachusetts residents (or domiciliaries) went to Wyoming and sought some state right granted to married people. That said, I've read the article, and I don't understand who was on the other side. Is there a law in Massachusetts that said you have to be a resident to get married in Massachusetts? If so, why didn't it apply? I don't understand the language about the fact that Rhode Island did not have a prohibition. It's generally assumed that if Roe/Casey falls and some states outlaw abortion, you would be able to go to any other state that permits it (absent some constitutionally questionable federal restriction). So, details please.
