Scalia - The 7 Worst Things Antonin Scalia Has Said or Written About Homosexuality

Have gays and lesbians tried NOT having homosexual sex?

During oral arguments in Lawrence, the attorney challenging the Texas law argued that it was "fundamentally illogical" for straight people to be able to have non-procreative sex without being harassed by the state while same-sex couples did not have the right to be "free from a law that says you can't have any sexual intimacy at all." But Scalia pointed out that gays and lesbians could just have sex with people of the opposite sex instead. "It doesn't say you can't have—you can't have any sexual intimacy. It says you cannot have sexual intimacy with a person of the same sex." Later on in his dissent, Scalia argued that Americans' constitutional right to equal protection under the law wasn't violated by the Texas law for that reason. "Men and women, heterosexuals and homosexuals, are all subject to (Texas') prohibition of deviate sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex." That should sound familiar: It's the same argument defenders of bans on interracial marriage used to make, arguing that the bans were constitutional because they affected whites and blacks equally.

Scalia has been on a tear lately, calling the Voting Rights Act a "racial entitlement" and ripping into the president in a dissent on Arizona's harsh anti-immigration law in the middle of an election season. But when it comes to LGBT rights, he's been off the rails for a long time

Scalia has his moments

[Chris]

People aren't like arguments. See, an argument, you show it illogical or flawed, even in a single premise or inference, the entire thing fails. For example the OP gives some facts, then ends with a conclusion, but the conclusion is a non sequtur that has nothing whatsoever to do with the facts. As an argument it fails. People aren't like that. People say odd things, make mistakes, in fact were a person invariably consistent you'd think it was a robot. So while I may disgree with this or that of Scalia's personal opinions that doesn't impeach him as a person, or a judge.

FACT: Homosexuality can be traced back to the Roman Empire and beyond.

Either begin dealing with or not, but it ain't going away just because people are uncomfortable or afraid.
