People's Rights on Sexuality

Recently the US Supreme Court decided on the legality of the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8. The Supreme Court basically said in their rulings that same-sex marriages will receive the benefits from the Federal Government that heterosexuality marriages receive, but that it is still up to the states on the legality of performing same-sex marriages. This came as a huge blow to opponents of same-sex relationships as it basically made them legal in the eyes of the Federal Government. Personally, I am heterosexual but could care less what others people's sexualities are as it doesn't affect me. Really, this whole debate of the legality of homosexuality and same-sex marriages seemed to me to be going against people's rights as US citizens. But tell me what you think on topic of the Supreme Court's rulings and same-sex relationships and marriages?
