I think you need to distinguish between the religious/cultural definition of marriage, and the legal definition. I agree that we can't force priests to marry in the name of their God, because that's a matter of faith. That decision should be made by each individual church. But it is also not fair to impose our cultural definitions on others when it comes to legal status. It seems strange that we give non-christian marriages the same status, while homosexuals in the same situation are treated differently. It is also false that the definition of a marriage is the same in the "first world". Other countries have managed to separate the religious definition of marriage from the legal definition. I'm not gay, and I have to admit that I look another way when two men kiss. But that doesn't mean I don't respect their situation, and want to give them the same rights as myself.
