there is the factor that liberals tend to be supporters of gay rights.

Don't think so. Yes, liberals do tend to be supporters of gay rights, but this wasn't about gay rights. Gay rights is about the right to marry or get health benefits via a partner. This case was about the right to be left alone. I would think liberals and libertarians would support this decision equally. It's really not about homosexuality, it's about the privacy of all our bedrooms.

I am and that's the biggest reason

I don't buy that. Some whom we call conservatives can be judicial activists, too.

FWIW.
