Yes. Regulations issued by the United States Department of State, the federal agency in charge of issuing passports (of which, incidentally, Hillary Clinton is the head), acknowledge that your legal name is determined by the state and if your state recognizes same-sex marriage, then you are entitled to a passport in your married name.

The exact citation of the rule is "7 FAM 1359 Appendix C." (Follow link below and scroll down.) If you have any trouble from a passport agent, refer him or her to that regulation.

Yes. A certificate of marriage, regardless of where it was issued, is sufficient proof of legal change of name for a New York driver's license. The gender of your spouse is irrelevant.
