It’s federally legal, but far as I can tell, some states don’t recognize those marriages, and others outright prohibit them, although it’s not enforceable. Still fucked up, IMO.

AFAIK, states are not allowed to prohibit same-sex marriages. Individual cities/towns can refuse to perform a marriage, but they still must recognize a marriage that was performed elsewhere.

It's just allowing the bigots to inconvenience queer people for no reason. It doesn't really prevent marriages (yet).
