The Bill of Rights doesn't include a 'right to privacy', dead.

That is a very nice statement that has absolutely nothing in the least to do with my point (or your original statement.)

The Bill of Rights overrules “democracy” in favor of individual rights. Libertarians support this concept, which you seem to have a problem with.

"The Bill of Rights overrules “democracy” in favor of individual rights. "

When did the Bill of Rights change to give this protection to homosexuals and deny the state the power to make this law?

It did not when it was passed. What in the Constitution has changed?

I can understand someone agreeing with the result of the decision, but I cannot understand anyone accepting the process.

The 'individual rights' that are listed in the Bill of Rights were voted on at one time, dead. They can be changed by...voting. If you believe that 'individual rights' are whatever you believe them to be, then that's another discussion entirely.

The thing that gives us 'individual rights' was voted on at one time.
