Actually, that is exactly what it is - removing the gender barrier that prevents some couples from enjoying full civil rights that come from marriage because of their gender. A Church in Rhode Island marries a couple - before, only man/woman couples would have civil rights, now gender discrimination has been removed.
As far as the government getting out of it – that is a separate argument. You would need to change over 15,000 Federal laws and statues – including the 5th amendment, and another whole bunch (many thousands) of state ones. It's possible, but a whole bunch of work that would take years and be expensive.
Just like the states remove laws restricting mixed race marriages – something forbidden in many religions and the Bible, they removed gender discrimination to Rhode Island civil marriage code.
