My first WrestleMania was WrestleMania III — and no, that doesn’t make me old, it makes me a seasoned veteran of spandex storytelling. I was there for Hogan vs. Andre, for Macho Man vs. Steamboat, and for the realization that nothing in the world feels quite as electrifying as a scripted sporting event played out live in front of thousands of people.

Establishing new religious protections under state law has been a goal of the Georgia GOP since shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in 2015. The bill’s sponsor, Acworth Republican Sen. Ed Setzler, first introduced the legislation nearly a decade ago during the 2016 legislative session. The same year, a similar religious freedom bill passed out of the Georgia Legislature, but was ultimately vetoed by then-Governor Nathan Deal, who said he wanted to keep Georgia “a welcoming state.”
