Just be careful what you wish for. You might get it.

I'm not an expert in this area, but it's elementary knowledge that Supreme Court decisions often have implications that reach far beyond the original decision. The logic used to arrive at a particular conclusion can be applied to any court case, at any jurisdictional level, where the same logic or legal tenets are tested....and more often than not those cases will have nothing to do with the subject originally addressed.
Second is the social impact. The information and relevent academic writings are relatively easy to find but are have largely been left out of the discussion. Let's just say it's going to be a lot more far reaching than the public face of the LGBT movement would have you believe.

Well yes, clearly we should be terrified of the fallout from this. Homosexuality will likely spiral out of control.
If you want to be taken seriously, at least specify what your concern is. I don't honestly get how this is anything but great news.

Maybe redefining marriage will be a slippery slope to people marrying their sisters and also possibly badgers.

Yay! Also, since corporations are people now, can I marry a corporation?

The fact that there *might* be unforeseen consequences is not a valid excuse for the state to continue discriminating.
I'm glad to see this issue finally put to bed :D
