Heterosexuals Caught in Gay Marriage Issue (By SSA Marriage License)
http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-gay-marriage-social-security,0,5144475.story?coll=sns-ap-nationworld-headlines

The Social Security Administration is rejecting marriage documents issued for heterosexual couples in four communities that performed weddings for gay couples earlier this year.

The agency is rejecting all marriage certificates issued in New Paltz, N.Y., after Feb. 27, when the town's mayor began marrying gay couples, according to town officials.

Certificates issued during the brief periods when Asbury Park, N.J., Multnomah County, Ore., and Sandoval County, N.M., recognized gay marriages are also being rejected.

Susie Kilpatrick, 30, of New Paltz, said the local Social Security office told her that no marriage documents issued after Feb. 27 could be used to establish identity because of the gay marriages that took place there earlier this year. About 125 heterosexual couples have been married since then.

2. I suspect it may be that the official(s) performing the ceremony(ies)
may have had his/her state authority revoked. In effect that means that all marriage ceremonies are null and void regardless of the sexuality of the participants. However, this is only my guess since I've not researched nor analyzed any court documentation.
