If gay marriage is not allowed by the state and heterosexual marriage is, then the coercive power of the state has been used against gay marriage- it is not legal to marry gay couples. It's even more obvious with polygamy which is, in fact, against the law.

So if you advocate that the state should not recognize gay marriages and bigamy, or you believe that bigamy should be illegal, and if you support the continuation of the status quo, you are indeed using the coercive power of the state to get what you want.
