Ted, <In fact the Supreme Court has said you have the right to consensual gay sex within one's home; however, it has never said that incestuous sex is acceptable and can be had in one's home.>

Why not? What's stopping the Supreme Court from saying incest or polygamy is OK? The will of the majority? You know the Supreme Court isn't supposed to speak for the "majority," but for the Constitution.

Please realize that I'm not arguing for the other extreme (prohibiting homosexuality or adultery). I'm just saying that the Constitution never says anything about protecting the "right" to homosexuality, adultery, incest, or polygamy, nor does the Constituion prohibit it, either. Restrictions or protections of such acts should be left to the legislature, i.e. the lawmakers, not the Supreme Court.
