The United States is a very, very diverse country with millions of people of different backgrounds, nationalities, and ancestries. With that, there comes a whole lot of issues regarding a whole lot of things. An issue that is "#1 important" to one group might be way down the list for another, different group. The same is true for individuals as well.
So whenever something changes, or a law is passed, or a ruling made: there will be people who say "Finally, the most important problem plaguing our country is resolved" and others who will say "What? Why are we even worrying about this? <insert thing here> is a WAY more important issue and no one is talking about it!"
So yes, back in 1954 there were people who didn't care, and people who cared a lot. That's what you get when you have a nation where policy is driven by public opinion. In an appropriately contradictory way: It's both a good and a bad thing.

As said above, it was about time. Anyone should be allowed to marry whoever they want, and it is now possible. I'm actually secretly laughing mockingly at the super conservative states where gay marriage was still banned. Like "Bam, in ya face yo". Humanity should move forward, not stay anchored in the past with outdated customs and ways of life.

It's about time, is all that I have to say.  Always more work to be done, though!  I'm happy at least this issue, is no longer an issue in the US.

None other than Europe's "The Final Countdown," it's a hit in this thread
