U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito complained about the impact of legalizing same-sex marriage on “society” in a statement about a case that does not have anything to do with same-sex marriage on Tuesday.

The underlying case was an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by a lesbian prison guard — which she won. On Tuesday, in orders, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal filed by the Missouri Department of Corrections over part of the jury selection process.

The outspoken conservative justice begrudgingly agreed with the court denying the petition for writ of certiorari — citing technical grounds that complicated the case — but took the opportunity to offer his views on how LGBTQ rights intersect with religious beliefs.
