TIME cover story on the showdown between religion and gay rights. “The culture war over gay rights is largely decided; what remains is the mainly rhetorical question of whether a florist or baker or photographer can refuse, on religious grounds, to supply a wedding bouquet where there is no bride, or a celebratory cake without a groom on top…. But symbols count, and the ones at stake in this unexpected clash are significant in a number of ways… but it would be wise to brace for more conflict.

Their opponents, as we have seen in Indiana and Arkansas, are determined that those voices not be heeded.”
