This is about Relgious nutters trying to tell others what they can and can't do.. Just like the Taliban or Islamist extremist do.. They tell others what they can or can't do in the name of Allah...

See AaronM's post.
Moreover, this is about the Supreme Court allowing the government to regulate personal relationships, i.e., dictate what relationships are OK in the eyes of the government. it's all in the opinions written by the SC justices. it was a 5-4 split decision with both sides very much diametrically opposed to interpreting the Constitution in this circumstance and the fact that "marriage" is no where in that document.
