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.

Oh, I see. If my state asks me in a binding referendum if I am for or against capital punishment, whether my answer is yes or no, either way I am using coercive power to get what I want.

Gee, I don't see how I can win.
