Short-term galvanizing impact, long-term (and not even that long term, ~5 years) it'll fade away, though it'll still be noticeably harder to get a gay marriage license in, say, Alabama.
The Right doesn't care nearly as much about gay marriage as abortion, and the pre-Stonewall people are shrinking in their share of the electorate. If the court rules that way in, say, 2013 (about the length of time I'd expect before Perry hits the Supremes), the electorate will be that much younger than it is now.
