Nobody (as far as I know) is advocating that any religious institution perform ceremonies for marriages that are contrary to their doctrines. Rather, it is about legal recognition of such marriages.
Perhaps you should watch the news. In states where homosexual marriages are taking place churches who open their doors for community events (like non member marriages) are being sued to allow homosexual marriages to take place in their buildings. Citing discrimination.
This is not say religions are being forced to marry gays it is saying that if a church opens it's doors for non church activities like bingo or non member marriages they will also be made to allow for non member gay marriages as well.

All sexual activity outside the confines of the covenant of marriage are considered "impure." See Every single verse I left in my first response to you.
