This week at The Visionary, we ask a Question…? When faith enters public life, whose beliefs get protected, and whose get punished? We cover a judge with a Reputation for saying no to gay couples, Bad Blood over an unwelcome haircut, Texas schools entering their Bible era, and a Love Story everybody will be watching this weekend. Are You Ready For It?

He kept his hair sacred for 20 years. Guards shaved it off in 20 minutes. And the Supreme Court just said that's perfectly legal. Who pays when faith is shaved away?
Texas just became the first state to make the Bible required reading for the 5 million students in its public schools. Officials are calling it cultural literacy, but critics say it's something else.
Rumors are swirling over who will officiate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's rumored wedding this weekend. Could Selena Gomez or Jason Kelce become ULC ministers? Jump into the comments to see who's most likely to get the nod.
