Didn't Kennedy, in Lawrence v. Texas, explicitly include in his opinion that striking down anti-sodomy laws would not in any way entitle homosexuals to the rights of marriage?

It would be interesting if you could come up with that part of Kennedy's opinion. Here's what Scalia said according to this article:

Kennedy's opinion left the laws against same-sex marriage "on pretty shaky grounds," Scalia said at the time. "If moral disapprobation of homosexual conduct is 'no legitimate state interest' … what justification could there possibly be for denying the benefits of marriage to homosexual couples?"
