Oh no, the opponents to homosexual marriage in the thread agree that they are human. Their argument, however, reduces to the belief that humans are essentially breeding stock. Homosexual marriage reduces the amount of stock available to breed and thus renders the industrialized nations vunerable to the third world hordes in terms of populace. 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.
