US Supreme Court Justice: I suspect I have gay friends, but none have revealed themselves to me

When asked about his grandchildren’s position on equal marriage, he said: ”I don’t know about my grandchildren. I know about my children. I don’t think they and I differ very much. But I’m not a hater of homosexuals at all.”

In the rare interview, he said he “suspects” he has friends who are gay, but that none had ever come out to him.

Despite never explicitly saying he opposed gay rights, Scalia has been criticised in the past for his voting record on LGBT issues.

Justice Scalia, has, however, given statements such as saying that he does not believe the US constitution protects the right to engage in “homosexual sodomy”.

You don't say? I mean, you'd figure Scalia and "teh gays" would be best friends!
