    CANNES (Reuters) - An intimate lesbian love story by French director Abdellatif Kechiche won the top prize in Cannes on Sunday, and the film festival's director immediately urged the large crowds protesting against gay marriage in Paris to go and see it.

Rightly or wrongly, as evidenced by the anti-sodomy laws they left intact, our Founding Fathers simply did not share the gay-rights conclusions of today's legal intelligentsia. Likewise, the Fourteenth Amendment — the alleged source of many of our recently discovered "constitutional" rights — did not establish a sodomy right. It is silent on the subject, and thus had no effect on the criminal sodomy laws that 32...
