I take my cue from Human Rights Watch, an advocacy organization on LGBT issues. Also, I don't think I've ever heard any of my lesbian friends refer to themselves as gay.

It will be interesting to see if the same holds true for California, or will the fact that California allows out-of-state couples to marry change the dynamic. Version two is the correct use.
