The way legal marriages in our society are currently defined, they have nothing to do with religion and therefore, it does not belong to the church. If heterosexuals can get married without religion, then homosexuals should be able to also.
ETA: I have two marriage licenses from two different marriages and neither of them have the word God on them anywhere.
