It's classic fortress mentality, much of which is historically used to enforce dogma. Fear of 'the other' is a powerful tool.
Of course, nothing in that argument takes into account the fact that homosexuals are not, due to their sexual preferences, functioning as stock anyway, as they are not procreating. Thus, homosexual marriage would not alter the available breeding populace.
