I am from the Netherlands, where gay marriage is already allowed. Even here we have some problems, as there are officials who refuse to execute the laws - which is in violation of the oaths they took.
Marriage is first and foremost a legal declaration. You have to marry first before the state before you can marry in church. So I can't see the problem there - of course if gay people want to marry in a church that does not allow for gay marriages, I can see why that would be an issue.
