The opinion can be read here.

Public morality remains a legitimate rational basis for the challenged legislation even after the Lawrence decision.

There is no constitutional right to sexual privacy? Hmm, tell me where it reads in the constitution where it says that Congress has the right to limit the behavior of consenting adults? It doesn't. It leaves it up to the states but again, why is it that the state has the right to dictate the private lives of its citizens when the actions are consenting and between adults?

This is one of those instances where the behaviors might be unattractive or over-the-top for some but giving the state that sort of power over people's lives is troubling.
