Please explain to me how acknowleding one's traditional heritage -- the one in which the DoI and Constitution are firmly rooted -- necessarily involves establishing a theocracy, Drew68. Right on. We established an organizationally secular nation, upon what is learned by being disciples of Christ, whether "apodeicticly," or nominally, or even unwillingly so. Even the U. S. Constitution, while attempting to fulfill the flinty Christian, John Adams' wishes for a secular government, also acknowledged Christ by its drafters' and consignatories' title for him, "our Lord."
And while you're at it, would you kindly explain to me from what text in the Constitution have the federal courts received any grant whatever to rule on issues involving sexuality? Are you comfortable with the federal government unilaterally writing the moral code for our nation?
Apt question!
The government, from the highest court in the land, has imposed itself in our beadrooms and not stopping there, even into wombs, and now, excuse me, has established itself in rectums throught the nation.

You may view the issue from that last orifice you mention, spinner, but the actual point is clear:
The government of Texas [& other states] tried to impose itself in bedrooms, -- thus the highest court in the land had to restore some constitutional sanity to the question.

Hey, the "slave mentality" gets what it deserves, I suppose. Next thing you know, the feds will find the 14th Amendment says that our "privileges and immunities" as United States citizens requires that we all be tattooed and "registered"...that way they could positively ensure that we'd all be getting "what's coming to us" -- er, by way of our (ahem) rights.... Hey, who knows? Maybe then they could "own" our foreheads, too (or some other bodily piece of real estate, site ID TBA)....
