Not only don't the ten commandments say anything about marrying someone of the same sex, the various places that homosexuality are mentioned aren't in the same chapter of the bible as the 10 commandments (in either of the places where the 10 commandments are mentioned.) The closest that you get is that both one set of statements of the 10 commandments is in Leviticus and so is the prohibition against homosexual sex. (Note that Lesbian sex isn't mentioned at all).
