Same sex marriage isn't recognized nationally so, it's sort of hit or miss. (Yes I checked on it in the states where it is, or has been legal) Some localities allow the name change same as hetero couples, others require you to petition the courts for a legal name change that stands separate from the marriage and, some don't allow it at all, you'd need another reason for a legal name change.
The best thing to do is ask your local clerk of courts.
