I wouldn't consider this a victory. The decision occured in New York's Supreme Court, which is not the highest court in New York. The litigation isn't over.
As a New Yorker, I believe that if marriage is going to be state sanctioned for heterosexual couples, it should also be for homosexual couples.
What I'm really hoping for is that all state sanctioned marriages will cease. I only want to see state sanctioned domestic partnerships for all. If you want "marriage," which I see as a religious institution, you should go outside the state for it.
