Supreme Scalia says anti gay 'discrimination is just the diversity of moral judgement'

 Efforts to discourage anti-gay discrimination at law schools is just one example of what U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia called the elimination of “diversity of moral judgment,” Saturday in remarks at the historically Catholic Duquesne University School of Law, Think Progress reports.

“Our educational establishment these days, while so tolerant of and even insistent upon diversity in all other aspects of life seems bent on eliminating diversity of moral judgment — particularly moral judgment based on religious views,” Scalia said, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Scalia is not simply suggesting a respect for religious diversity (inclusive of a wide range of views on homosexuality and LGBT rights). He is implying that religious institutions have a right to pass moral judgement against LGBT individuals in a way that is actively discriminatory (despite Christ’s admonishment: “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.”).

“I hope this place will not yield — as some Catholic institutions have — to this politically correct insistence upon suppression of moral judgment, to this distorted view of what diversity in America means,” Scalia continued.

But what of the suppression of moral judgment of those religious institutions that support LGBT rights? We may not be legal scholars, but it’s pretty clear that Scalia is the one with a distorted view of diversity.
