Rehnquist's other 5-4 decision in 2000, ''[[Boy Scouts v. Dale]]'', maintained the right of the Boy Scouts to decide for themselves whether to allow gay scoutmasters. Against a claim by liberal justices of greater societal acceptance of homosexuality, Rehnquist retorted that "the fact that an idea may be embraced and advocated by increasing numbers of people is all the more reason to protect the First Amendment rights of those who wish to voice a different view."

While Chief Justice Rehnquist is often described as a [[conservative]], he was not [[conservative]] on gender issues or free speech issues.  He dissented from ''[[Wooley v. Maynard]]'', and he preferred to defer to state and local regulations on speech issues.  He wrote a spirited dissent in which he supported a local ban on door-to-door solicitations in ''[[Watchtower Bible and Tract Society v. Village of Stratton]]'' (2002).
