"Eventually, the solution will come from the religious community to simply end state recognition of marriage altogether. Civil libertarians will endorse this view as well."

I don't see how that would fix anything at all. You would still have churches discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation, and liable to court-imposed penalties for it.

If there is no legal recognition of marriage, then it won't matter if the church performs a gay marriage or not. It would be like a church refusing to baptize a non-Christian. If we got to that point, then there are problems beyond the church being forced to perform gay marriages.
