. The 10th amendment guarantees to the states and the people themselves all powers not granted to the federal government.
The Constitution does not give the power to the federal government to regulate in this area.

Wrong. The 14th protects our rights to life, liberty, and property from violations by ANY level of government, fed/state/local.

The 14th amendment does not define those rights, but references them to be part of the rights of individuals protected from federal government action by the other portions of the Constitution. The Constitution does not state that one has a right to engage in homosexual sex.
