Fulton The basic contours and trajectory of this tension between religious freedom and LGBT rights has been, frankly, so clear to me for so long, I find it difficult to say anything that feels new to me. Every milestone seems to affirm the basic reality of the situation which, if not for the willing suspension of disbelief of politicians and activist groups, would be clear to many others. And so I repeat myself in the hope that my assessment might sound new to others.
