Fair enough. So will there now be no disparagement of the rights to prostitution or public sex?

"Fundamental" rights are the pruview of the SCOTUS Luis. The majority opinion states clearly that sodomy is not a "fundamental" right. Hence the power to legislate is the states or more correctly the people's.

Certainly not the SCOTUS and their new take on transcendental liberty blah blah blha.
