The State Department has find an interesting way to stop gay marriage...
I've now seen a couple of different reports (here and now here) about
how same-sex couples who legally change their names on their marriage
certificates are unable to get the State Department to recognize that
name change on the couple's passports. In these cases, the State
Department takes the position that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)
prevents the government from recognizing a name change effected in
conjunction with a same-sex marriage. Nonetheless, the State Department
will recognize the name change if the couple takes the separate (and
completely unnecessary) step of going to court to get a judicial name
change or if the new name is used publicly and exclusively for a period
of at least five years (and you can document such use).
