This doesn't work as long as the government recognizes marriage. Either gay marriage has to be legal, or marriage itself can't be legal, and you need to advocate civil unions are *all* that are recognized by the government and marriage is a purely religious matter that has no legal benefits/responsibilities. But that doesn't really work because marriage has been a legal institution for long enough and exists in various forms across various cultures to the point that you really can't argue "marriage" is the exclusive property of Christianity.
Problem then is you would end up forcing Churches to marry homosexuals otherwise they would be breaking discrimination law and could be sued.
You don't want to go there for a number of nonreligious reasons
