No. Marriage is defined as the union between a man and a woman and therefore by definition a gay couple cannot be 'married' either in church or out.
However, in the Uk, for example, there are available civil partnerships - which are the homosexual equivalents, in law, of a traditional marriage. I know of no equivalent in any official Christian Church in the UK or anywhere else.
However, depending upon the diocesan bishop's views, and the views and integrity of the local priest, some more 'progressive' parish priests have offered gay couples a blessing service - usually a service after a civil ceremony. In the UK this has happened on several occasions, although it is still very controvertial in some areas.
