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.
Yes marriage in all its arrangements has no need of the government to exist. The government got involved in issuing marriage licences because they wanted to protect the institution and provide special benefits to strengthen it. This was because of the social benefits this institute provides for society.

We are getting off topic.
