Marriages are recognized by the state, not just the church. Now, since the two are supposed to be separate entities, Christianity should not even come into the conversation when it comes to the STATE legalizing gay marriages. That said, the state has no right to say right or wrong - a marriage is a vow between two people and if they want to sign papers that says their incomes are now combined, so be it.
I think the states should be all for it in fact, because they get more tax money from it all.
