If you "create" a right, by having the state confer something, the right exists. When you exclude people from accessing that right, you have taken it away from them.

When a mixed race couple was not allowed to marry I think most people would say a right was taken away from them, that was available to same race couples. Not only would most people say it, but the logic is in place that where one couple gets access to a right, and another does not, something has been taken away from the one that does not get the service. In the end all you can try to do is argue you had a good reason from withholding the service from the couple who do not get it, but if all you are left with is "Because I say so" I think you've failed to provide an adequate reason for the withholding of a right.
