While many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry God and sinners. But both are missing the forest through the trees.
The problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times. Five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle. Like a majority of the governing body decides matters for JWs lives.
Policy is supposed to be based on the community electing a representative based on the majority view and then the representative represents the community in congress, either house, and again, the majority makes the law for the state. Thus the many states can have different laws and regulations.
If laws under the penal code violate ones' rights the courts can strike down those laws, because one can not be punished for an unconstitutional law or procedure. But saying that same sexers can not marry is not a punishment (it is really a blessing as those of use who are married will say), so it is not for the court to step in.
The Court overstepped it's bounds. When women wanted the right to vote, they didn't take it to the court, they got the 19th amendment passed. The 14th amendment was for raising the treatment of blacks to the mainstream as people were saying that the federal gov can not tell the states what to do. So protections were extended. That was done to prevent lynchings, beatings and the many atrocities that kept going on with the law looking the other way. To place gays marrying in the same arena is an insult to the purpose that the 14th amendment came about.
