I don't have enough hubris to think that believing in religious, or philosophical or moral ideas that I disagree with makes one irrational. Believing in such ideas is not necessarily irrational. Expecting Government to ban something one dislikes is a different story. If for example you felt 1 - that the highest and most important purpose of government was to promote morality, and 2 - that homosexual activity was immoral, then believing in 3 - The government should ban homosexual activity, is a logical conclusion. In the absence of a consensus definition of what constitutes "morality", #1 above can hardly be considered a rational position.
