Yeah, that's the problem. Gays are not yet seen as equals in federal law and can be freely discriminated against unless state legislation prohibits it. Fourteenth amendment does nothing for them.
That's why I made the post... this SCOTUS decision is semantics really and all it effectively does is allow the odd tax benefit for gay couples here and there. They sorta skipped the important step.
