Until the 1970's it was in every state. Even Jefferson thought that it should be.

Thomas Jefferson, A Bill for Proportioning Crimes and Punishments - 1778

Whosoever shall be guilty of Rape, Polygamy, or Sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro' the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least.

That's what a crafter of the Constitution thought the punishment should be. However, Virginia kept the death penalty.

Many states did outlaw sodomy until Huge Nanny State SCOTUS forced it on all the states.

How do you like that?

Again a question that seems falsely premised. How about the government carry out the will of the people? That would be refreshing. Many people would outlaw homosexual sex just as they do now outlaw any number or morally bankrupt activities. The People are where the power comes from NOT the government.

As far as the 'legality' of homosexual sex goes OTHER than the same privacy penumbra that baby killers hide under where exactly does this right to engage in homosexual sex come from? If not from the Creator or from the people THEN WHERE does the government get such authority?
