What with DOMA still existing, I tend to agree with you; the Fed isn't exactly opening the door to gay marriage. Plus, as one commenter already mentioned, this case is a little too ensnared by other hang-ups, like the validity of the election etc.

I think forcing this on people via the courts instead of taking it to popular vote is just going to make people madder; I believe we could and would pass gay marriage legislation sometime in the next couple election cycles, but not if we keep pissing undecided people off by saying "fuck you, we're going over your heads!"
