is that the Founding Fathers who wrote the constitution then went home and created unconstitutional anti-sodomy laws.

As well as unconstitutional laws denying women and blacks the right to vote and perpetuating slavery.

Uh, if I remember correctly, amendments to the constitution had to be passed to address those issues. Not so in the case of anal sex, abortion, affirmative action, etc. We have a Supreme Court ruling us by fiat.

If the Gaystapo wanted to take the truly constitutional route to legitimizing homo-sex, they would have tried to pass an amendment. Instead, they chose to go the route that all totalitarian types do -- just impose your will by fiat, the people be d@mned.

You people better try to silence us quickly.....This decision may just wake up the sleeping giant. Bring on the MARRIAGE AMENDMENT!

They weren't unconsitutional then, now they are. It's called the amendment process. It's specified in Article V, which in fact prohibited certain sections from being amended, one of which was a Constitutional provision restricting Congress from prohibiting the importation of slaves until 1808. Slavery was legal, which is not to say that it was moral or right, under the Constitution as originally passed.
