Who said anything about enforcing gay marriage within a church though? The way I see it, gay people would like to enter into a contract with the state, and the church (that they probably aren't even members of) wants to interfere with that.

If the state defines marriage as a contract between 2 people, there is still nothing stopping Mormons (or anyone else) from plural marriages within their church, other than their predisposition towards pedophilia. You can still be married to one person and (ie.)"handfasted" to whomever else you want.... they just don't get the perks that come with government contract. The government is still not legislating morality to the church.
