There also seems to be a strange logic in opposition to same sex marriage that it undermines the heterosexual couple family. As though denying same sex couples the right to marry will encourage them to marry someone of the opposite sex? It doesn't work like that.

and why not?

Why does society not see traditional versions of marriage as better than modern ones including same sex couples? Because society is what made the change from traditional marriage to modern forms. It prefers them on average.
-
if "society" is the US as a whole, then society cannot be said to prefer those modern forms, because it was never asked--in a very pertinent way, to ask SCOTUS is to specifically avoid asking society indeed, SCOTUS ruled in such a way as to *prevent* society from deciding this
-
Where did they come from then? How are they norms?
-
because SCOTUS held that the Constitution--or rather, the Constitution as SCOTUS sees it--requires those norms (but that result was far more related to the baroque, extra-textual nature of SCOTUS "substantive due process" jurisprudence than the Constitution itself)

Once every runner is awarded first place for a century or so, it will become the tradition. But what if the ”tradition” actually reflects an underlying reality that arbitrarily changing things causes social damage?
