Very interesting question! I would doubt that gay marriages would be allowed in any LDS Temple. The LDS faith has no acceptance for gay people and would never allow two people of the same sex to be joined for eternity. A sad situation if you ask me.

No, they do not. Marriage between same sex couple is still not allowed in the Temples nor can they be done by bishops of that sect. I am not sure of their stance regarding same sex LDS couple who marry via other religious ceremonies or civil ceremonies; but I know the LDS church does not condone or perform gay marriages anywhere.
The polygamy change was a completely different thing. It was possible for that change to be church-wide. The gay marriage issue would not be a church-wide thing, and no church allows something one place and not another, no matter what church it is.
