While I have my own opinions about gay marriage, I'll let the courts muck about with that.

Could their refusal to accept the licenses be related to the fact that they can't know for sure by the names on the licenses whether the "marriage" was hetero or not? If the issue is that they can't or won't accept a homosexual union, I can understand the reality that they just wouldn't have the manpower to investigate every application to determine the sex of the couple. Of course, if the sex of each is in the document, this has no bearing.
