The analogy to the persecution of the LDS church is a very apt one, I think.
If "private homophobia" is at least as great an evil as was polygamy, is society (or at least powerful secular elites in society) prepared to treat Catholics and traditional Christians the way it treated Mormans in the 19th Century? Will Catholics and traditional Christians (and orthodox Jews and the growing body of Islam in America) passively submit to persecution and to being treated as dirty and marginalized religions? This is why Scalia's suggestion of Kulturkampf is apt. If you want to equate the homosexual revolution with racial civil rights, be prepared for a very ugly campaign of religious persecution, and for a passionate ecumenical defense of religious liberty.
