it's pretty hard to justify keeping people out.

That was what the entire disaffiliation process was supposed to be about, but it wasn't. The far right staged a takeover of churches in red areas to gain the assets of the church, with anti-LGBTQ thrown in because it was required in order to disaffiliate. Then they thought they should still be allowed to vote in this process as well. Apparently, it didn't go well for them. Good.
