Again, Tony Blair is devoutly Christian. The difference is that he *succeeded* in never letting his beliefs (whatever they are) interfere.

Tim Farron failed in that respect, and it's important. Blair never said a bad thing about homosexuality. Quite the contraryx

Neither. Has. Farron. He's spoken very positively about LGBT rights & dignity.

I still think liberalism is defined best by people subordinating private beliefs to universal human rights.

I agree with you. The key word here is "private". If you air your views, then they are political statements (if you are a political leader)

How much harder do you think he could have tried not to do that? What more do you think he could have done?

I don't blame him. He got ambushed. However, having let people understand that he thinks gay sex is a sin, his position became untenable.

(For me, at least). A politician is there to achieve goals for people. Saying that *undermined* gay acceptance.
