Without question, in the new American theocracy, homosexuality will be a grand taboo! Owing to Leviticus, 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination" and Leviticus, 20:13, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them," homosexual acts and proclivities will not be tolerated.
The first step in this direction will be a new federal law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Steps will be taken to strike down any state statutes that provide for alternatives. Openly gay individuals will be thrown out of the military and government service. There will be a witch hunts to remove gay teachers and instructors at all levels of the educational system. Churches with gay pastors, elders, deacons and other high ranking officials will be stripped of their tax-exempt status and institutionally ostracized and harassed.
Within a generation or two, the situation will grow more dark. Homosexuality will become a crime! Anyone convicted of spreading the purposely nebulous "gay agenda" will face stiff penalties. Any individual who is openly gay will be brought before the appropriate court and given two options: 1) To be sent to a Christian residential center to be reprogrammed and rid of their homosexual desires or 2) If this fails or the individual refuses to go, sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. In some states -- Texas comes to mind -- gay individuals who refuse to attempt treatment may be sentenced to death.
Of course, while all these draconian measures are being employed on the American public, many church and government leaders will continue to indulge in their homosexual dalliances. It will be easier to spot them than they realize! Just as it is now, the ones who rail against homosexuality the most vociferously will be the queerest of the bunch!!

I think a similar fate would await transgendered people under that system. Either pretend to be comfortable with the body you were born with or go to jail! :(
