Final answer:
Same-sex couples need legal acceptance in all states for equality in rights and benefits.
Explanation:
Same-sex couples need their marriage to be accepted legally in all states to ensure they have access to the same legal rights, benefits, and protections as opposite-sex couples. Currently, same-sex couples face material disadvantages due to the lack of legal recognition, such as being denied over 1,000 federal rights granted to heterosexual married couples. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and state laws further complicate this by limiting recognition and benefits for same-sex couples.
