My question: if 1 member of a gay couple has a sex change operation, can they then get legally married in a state with no same-sex marriage laws?

Next question is if they are already married and one has "the operation" are they still legally married?

IIRC, there have been all sort of weird cases in the news.

For example, a male-turned-into-female tries to marry a man, and it #1 is not allowed because the state uses chromosomes to determine who is male or female; therefore it #1 cannot marry a man.

Then a few months later, another case, it #2, turnes from male-to-female by surgery, but it #2 claims to be a lesbian formerly trapped in a male body.

Then it #2 decides to marry a female, and the state is put in the awkward position to marry to people who look anatomically like women.
