Ban them from your church if you want, I don't care, but you have no right at all to not allow them to be legally married through a court house or whatever.

But what's the difference? Marriage is marriage. Gays have the right to fight for their rights to get married. But just the same, any person who is against gay marriage also has the right to fight in order to make gay marriage illegal. Everyone has rights to what they believe, no matter who deems their beliefs as unfair.
