failsafe anon would like to add something that disagrees with what above poster has said. do not get married in the US before you have the right to stay. do not tell immigration that you married in the UK. homeland screens for 'intent to remain'. if you're entering under the visa waiver, they're not supposed to let you in if they think you're interested in settling permanently, even if they don't believe you're intending to overstay on that occasion, it flags the risk that you have motive and ability to 'disappear' once inside. often you'll get sympathetic border guards, but it only takes one to enter it into your file and reject your admission. (also you're correct, federal law does not recognize same-sex marriage, no immigration option exists).
