Men and women are going to get married and have babies (or not) regardless of the government's definition of marriage. Recognizing same-sex marriage doesn't take anything away from the "traditional family".
It doesn't stop "traditional families" from doing what they've always done.
There is not a single person alive who decided to
not have a heterosexual marriage and children because SSM is recognized by the government.
