All laws that constrain homosexual conduct are constitutionally infirm, including laws that ban same sex marriage.

No. Take a step back and think about the finite legal issues in each case. I've been blessed to make a living on this stuff, and I don't care how Lawrence is distorted, one man one woman marriage doesn't "constrain" homosexual conduct. Criminalizing sodomy constrains sodomy, but one man one woman marriage does not prohibit or otherwise constrain sex of any stripe. The government's out of the bedroom, but it's still on that marriage license. That's where the logical hole is and that's exactly where the SCOTUS will finally put an end to all this nonsense if they ever decide to accept a case. While it is frustrating to me that many very bright people are being misled, I am very confident that the legality of this legislation will be confirmed, eventually, by the Supreme Court.

Various judges so far have not agreed with your optimistic reading of the situation. I think when push comes to shove, the SCOTUS is going to invalidate same sex marriage bans across the country. If you take Lawrence's logic to its ultimate conclusion, it admits of nothing except full sexual equality. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask Sen. Rick Santorum. He warned us where this was leading and guess what? The future is now.
