This is a complicated question. If a same-sex couple is legally married in a state which permits same-sex couples to marry, then that marriage is recognized as a marriage in all other states that permit same-sex couples to marry.
In addition, Rhode Island and New Mexico will reportedly recognized an out-of-state same-sex marriage, even though such marriages cannot be performed in those states.
Also, California permitted same-sex marriages between June 16, 2008 and November 4, 2008 and marriages performed during that period are still legal in California, including those performed in other states and countries.
Some states that permit domestic partnerships or civil unions will recognize and out-of-state same-sex marriage as either a domestic partnership or a civil unions. Other states explicitly ban same-sex marriages, even though they have statewide civil unions or even domestic partnerships that are very nearly identical to marriage in all aspects except for the word "marriage."
