Sorry, they DID give it special protection. Sodomy - particularly same sex sodomy - has been illegal practically since time immemorial, and most if not all states had laws against it with rather strong penalties. This kept sodomy in the closet, where it belongs. No one minded, no one thought such laws unconstitutional. But now, because 1-2% of the population (roughly, could be as high as 2.4) want their sexual proclivities to be normalized - nay, glorified - and a larger percent of the sheeple - I mean the people who follow the liberal/leftist secular humanist/marxist style revisionist moral relativist one worlder philosophy - have now decided that sodomy is a guaranteed right under the Constitution. Funny how the actual guys who wrote the document thought it wasn't a protected act.

But now we know better, with a few generations of enlightenment from the ACLU and others of their ilk.

Sorry, but no new right was created and no "special" protection granted.

And to cite the length of time a bad law has been on the books as justification for it, is poor thinking taken to an artform. Many bad laws can be cited that meet your criteria.

Leave anyone out? LOL. Would all the people who disagree with you fall into that rather broad catagory?

I repeat, your rights are not being violated and therefore it is none of your business.
