In general, married gay men refer to each other as husbands (i.e., two husbands and no wife). Married lesbians refer to each other as wives (i.e., two wives and no husband). You can sometimes hear people who are unsure about the appropriate vocabulary use words like "partner" or "spouse." If a man wants to be called a wife, or a woman wants to be called a husband, then that is their prerogative. However, identifying yourself as belonging to the opposite gender is a characteristic of a transgendered person, not a gay person. In that sense, altering the gender-specific vocabulary is an issue separate from same-sex marriage.
