Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said Thursday that he doesn’t want to be seen as “anti-gay,” according to the Washington Post.
“Don’t paint me as anti-gay or anti-abortion or anything else,” Scalia said during an appearance with fellow Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at George Washington University, the Post reported.
Scalia also said the question of whether gays should have the right to marry or whether women should have the right to an abortion “isn’t the issue,” the Washington Blade reported.
“I don’t have any public views on any of those things,” Scalia said, according to the Blade. “The point is, who decides? Should these decisions be made by the Supreme Court without any text in the Constitution or any history in the Constitution to support imposing on the whole country, or is it a matter left to the people?”
