as the Government provides tax perks etc to married couples, does this not become a separation of church and sate issue?

What you're really saying is gays can't be religious. They're many gay churches and pastors, so they have the religion part covered should they desire a religious wedding.

Marriage isn't an institution of the church, DOA's can marry, ship captains, judges, etc..
