In the mind of James Dobson, a titanic battle is constantly being waged. This conflict is the central front in "a Second Civil War," an apocalyptic struggle pitting God-fearing straights against libertine gays, manly men against girly men, biblical absolutes against secular evil.

Indeed, the anti-gay crusade mixed traditional homophobia with the self-loathing of the many closeted gays embedded within the movement's political nerve center.
