From the decision:

"Our obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to mandate our own moral code." Lawrence v. Texas, 123 S. Ct. 2472, 2480 (2003) (Lawrence), quoting Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833, 850 (1992).

Lawrence was superfluous to the decision, as it was to the decisions in Hawai'i, Alaska, and Vermont which preceded Lawrence. If you don't believe me, get back to me when the State of Massachusetts appeals Goodrich to the Supreme Court of the United States.
