No Homophobia - George Weigel, National Review http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/newsbytes-august-3-homosexuality

...crying "homophobia" is a cheap calumny, a crypto-totalitarian bully's smear that impresses no serious person…the net effect of the pressures now being mounted by the Times and others — a redefinition of "marriage" that puts Christian communities and their pastors outside the boundaries of the law for purposes of marriage — will be to reduce state-recognized "marriage" to a sad joke. As analysts running the gamut from Hannah Arendt to Leszek Kolakowski understood, modern totalitarian systems were, at bottom, attempts to remake reality by redefining reality and remaking human beings in the process. Coercive state power was essential to this process, because reality doesn't yield easily to remaking, and neither do people.
