I think he just wants agreement from us. Not that it would change the law in any way. Regardless, he is not going to get the agreement he wants.
I even donated money to the cause a couple of years back, so that should indicate the strength of my feelings on this topic. Still, I was pleasantly surprised by the Supreme Court ruling. But I do think that the ruling makes sense, for the same basic reasons that it made sense that bans on interracial marriage were ruled unconstitutional many years ago.
