Speeding laws are not symbolic (oh how I wish they were). Thousands of people are cited everyday for violating them.

You are grasping at straws. Tens of millions go unpunished. Everyday. It is time to put this point to bed. There are tons of symbolic laws on the states books.

Now, lets get back to the more important point of how favoring letting states legislate morality as they see fit is somehow pro-Big Govenment.

I can't imagine anything MORE 'pro-big government' than letting states legislate the morality of what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms. A government large and strong enough to reach behind bedroom doors seems to me to be the definition of 'big government'.
