Of course they won't be forced into doing gay marriage. As Livia said, if you're going to dabble into equality, if you want to force the church into gay marriage, you'll have to do it with all other religious groups and that simply won't happen.
Religion in general is based on bigotry and downright wicked nonsense. If I was gay I wouldn't choose to be part of a group that wouldn't accept me based on a small part of who I am.
