I can't see any state as a rule refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples or denying benefits to legally married same-sex couples. There just isn't the political will for that battle anymore.

The most I could see is some Kim Davis type refusing to do so and in regards to her case even Thomas and Alito denied cert although Thomas wrote a scathing critique of Obergefell that Alito joined, indicating even they're kind of reluctant to touch it again. Thomas did say this raises issues of "religious liberty" the Court will have to sort out and thus it was a bad decision for unleashing that but I can't see how that goes much further than those silly cases about people refusing to bake cakes for gay weddings or whatever.
