This was not done in the right manner. The supreme court is not here to write legislature or to take powers away from the state. this should have remained a state issue, and the way in which it was done leaves it open to be changed or still further fought. Instead of legalizing gay marriage, government should be taken out of the marriage business. No tax breaks for marriages, and leave it up to health insurance companies to decide if they want to cover homosexual spouses (they have no choice but to now, i think the public backlash would be too great not too). But it shouldn't be in government hands. But since it is, it should at least be done appropriately with actual legislation, not over reach by the supreme court.
