As time passes, we realize their existence.

Aha, you undid your argument with this ridiculous phrase!

In other words, social Darwinism. Therefore the more degenerate (moral relativist) society becomes (and especially at least 5 guys in black robes), than all KINDS of rights "reveal" themselves. Your argument is false. There is no, and never has been in any righteous or rational civilization, a right to buggery. On the contrary, there is a right - and a responsibility - to make such and other like acts illegal.

Not to enable cops to enter peoples' homes, but to keep sodomy out of the public where it can infect and degrade others.

In case you hadn't noticed, it's not the 18th century anymore. I doubt that the Founders would have had an opinion on, let's say, the right to publish on the internet or on any similar subject. As society expands, so does its understanding of the law. Much of what's discussed today was science fiction 50 years ago. Were we to stick to an "antique" view of the Constitution, then the 2nd Amendment would only apply to flintlocks and the 1st Amendment would only apply to Ben Franklin's hand-cranked printing press. You may not like this, but your dislike won't change reality.
