As I've made clear, I have no patience with the label fascism for reactionary currents in u.s. politics, but I would still disagree with the subject line.
If "fascism" (or some closely analogous movement) contests for power in the u.s., I suspect it won't be anti-gay. In fact, I suspect a _real_ u.s. fascist movement wouldn't even be overtly racist or sexist. There's just not going to be any close imitation of the inter-war phenomenon known as fascism, though that is no consolation because there are many other ways that civil and political rights can be crushed.
