#SCOTUS takes up #Colorado preschool case, in which the #Catholic arch-diocese claims it has the right to refuse enrollment of the children of gay (i.e. same sex) parents, although forbidden by Colorado law from doing so nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-c

That's not quite the issue in St. Mary v Roy.

It's not over whether the diocese has the right to refuse enrollment to children of gay parents--of course it can as it's their schools--but rather whether it can participate in a state program that allows discrimination in other ways but not this one.

So CO has made kind of a mess of its program, discriminating over discrimination. Some discrimination is OK, but not this discrimination.

Some are allowed to ignore the law but some aren't.
