“The state doesn’t define something...”
The state defines marriage as far as it is concerned.
“...but when the state does something like that they give it official sanction of the society for many.”
Absolutely, the state loves that many have been conditioned to think that what it deems marriage is automatically a marriage. The homosexualists love that the state can punish those who disagree with however it is happening to define marriage at the time. Many faiths have never bought into that, usually in the context of divorce and remarriage, but now including such things as ‘gay marriage’ and who knows what else in the coming years.
