I think personal rights like gay marriage, abortion, contraception, types of sex acts, legal age to marry, etc. should be country-wide.....not state by state.
This is the UNITED States......not 50 seperate little countries that should each establish their own version of basic, human rights.
Well hey, might as well get rid of state borders then. So we can all live in unity with no chance of staying in the country if we don't like one rule, because you know, the federal government should have absolute power.
If we ever see a return to anti-sodomy laws, it would most likely happen the same way that FDA regulation of cigarettes did. It would be justified on the grounds that health costs are too much of a drain on the public treasury.
It seems unlikely now but suppose a new STD were to emerge even worse than HIV. With ObamaCare now law of the land there would be great pressure to control costs by putting in "reasonable, common sense" regulations on oral and anal sex practices. And enforcement of the regs would "create jobs" don't cha know.
It's a non issue to me, they could ban it but they don't have a way to enforce it unless your caught in public and then your only getting what you ask for.
Santorum doesn't even have an economic or foreign policy. Just seems to be the anti gay guy. The irony of this is that he looks quite affeminate himself.

New York didnt reverse their laws until 2000, Pennsylvania 1995, etc
There are tons of archaic laws on every state's books. Many of them were made into law 100-200 years ago. They are so old, no one even knows they exist, and when states do find them, they are repealed.
Santorum obviously doesn't understand the meaning of freedom.
Santorum rises to the top in conservative world.
