Glad as I am to see the celebration, the ruling has mostly made me anxious, expecting a lot of unproductive antagonism.
The vast majority of us have similar interests on important, urgent issues like climate change and income inequality, but same-sex marriage, like other social issues, has been successfully used to make sure we don't work together, by convincing some of us that others of us are evil. I fear this ruling will convince those that feel that way that evil is winning, and they had better stand firmer than ever against anything liberals are for.
