I posted my religious beliefs regarding my religious beliefs on homosexuality many times and doing it any more would be really spamming. Regarding getting the state out of civil marriage, I am not the only one to think so.

Indeed. Marriage is a Biblical institution. If the Bible wasn't written Marriage, in the 'modern' sense, wouldn't even exist. So all civil marriages should be done away with. Only legitimate institutions/people can preform the Sacraments.

You do realize marriage existed before Christianity co-opted it?

It is worth mentioning that in Greek and Roman culture, it was not shameful to be homosexual. Topping was honourable. Being sub or bottom was not, but as long as the sub/bottom stayed to that role, it wouldn't matter. The ultimate transgression was a top bottoming, or a bottom topping. So yes, those societies were homophobic.

It's pretty much the same rationale behind Old Testament homophobia (give or take an anti-Canaanite counter-cultural movement): women are lesser beings. [...]

Now that I have been informed it was Rome I have read about, in my view the Roman view on homosexuality was that as long as the top is manly and the bottom is effeminate it is nothing but another kind of heterosexual relationship so it's tolerated.

The problem going by that is, the bible is what validated, legitimized, and encouraged polygamous marriages. Do keep that in mind when bringing up the bible and marriage.

Yes
Generally it was used by the army, officers slept with their legionaries ( nearly typed privates) though it was also encouraged among common soldiers because it built up comradeship among the men, and that was what the legion thrived on

Wrong. Christianity took monogamous marriage from Greco-Roman culture, not the other way around. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_ancient_Rome
