from Kennedy's opinion:

The present case does not involve minors. It does not involve persons who might be injured or coerced or who are situated in relationships where consent might not easily be refused. It does not involve public conduct or prostitution. It does not involve whether the government must give formal recognition to any relationship that homosexual persons seek to enter.

Sounds like Kennedy, in giving his opinion, had heard all the specious histrionics that gets hashed and rehashed on FR every time a thread on this subject comes up. He also decisively shot down that folly.

Yes, but just like Roe, it will be expanded to allow those behaviors.
