Excommunicate. And I suspect that there would be a concern that excommunication by whatever denomination of Baptism they belong to would be viewed by more radical members as hypocrisy at the very least and something no longer worth their sizable donations in reality. Many of the more fundamentalist Baptist perishes do teach a strict literalistic view of things like homosexuality and though I wish it weren't so, they do have a say.
So the short answer is no, that probably won't happen. And even if it did, they'd make an even more extremist church and keep doing it.
