The decision makes it clear that equal protection and full faith and credit both apply. All 50 states must allow and recognize all marriages.

You can get married in all states, and your marriage in one state is recognized in the rest of 'em.

That's my read of the thing.

Which frankly seems to have really surprised most of the SCOTUS watchers I know.

Those states that currently don't have marriage equality still don't until either the state decides not to push the issue or a federal court in their jurisdiction issues an order. In any case, within a month it will be pretty much over legally.

for a stay on a pro-equality ruling to be lifted -- by the same pro-equality judge who issued the original decision.

So I don't know what they're waiting for, since she's obviously going to lift the stay so her own pro-equality ruling can go into effect.
