Well, society, rightly, does not. Once same sex couples have been able to marry for a century or so, this will become traditional marriage too. Traditions change. Within marriage, it's been for the better. https://twitter.com/AndersEigen/status/980926280659972097 …
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)
