The district attorney whio represented Texas in Lawrence vs Texas said this in the case:

Even if you infer that various States acting through their legislative process have repealed sodomy laws, there is no protected right to engage in extrasexual extramarital sexual relations, again, that can trace their roots to history or the traditions of this nation.

My italics. You know what happened next. The Christianists are nothing if not consistent.
