Regarding the “Full Faith & Credit” provision in Article 4. How does it affect Gay marriage?

In article four of the constitution it states that congress is responsible for letting each state have their own laws and take their own legal actions, meaning that each state can have different laws and actions from other states. Congress gives each state the freedom to make some of their own laws, regarding gay marriage, it has been a controversy, as of now Connecticut and Massachusetts are the only two states that allow it. California once allowed it but just recently banned it. Does that mean the couples that were once legally married are no longer? They are allowed to get married in the state that allows gay marriages, and it would be considered a legit marriage, but only for that state. The downside to this is because it only applies to each individual state, if someone were to go get married in a state that allows gay marriages, than move out of that state, or go somewhere else. In the new state they relocated to, they would not be considered a legit couple.
