I got married by the church. The state recognized my marriage. Will the state force my church under the law to marry homos??

The state recognizes marriage to protect children. It's not about adults at all. Things like SS confused the issue.

Probably. Even if the state has in its constitution the protection of the Right to Religious freedom it is very likely. (See this post I just made explaining why it's a bad idea to have the State define marriage.)

That's the big thing that people bring up: tax, SS/insurance benefits, all the other stuff.... but hey, can't that be argued in civil court to a jury (I'll assume the amount in controversy is more than $20) — again, not everything needs to be decided by [codified] criminal law.
