Not surprising - traditionalist liberals attacking LGBT people because they dare defy the holy family structure is very common.

I doubt this has anything to do with religion though, apart from it being used as a convenient tool to add credence to the rhetoric. More people being born and raised via unpaid labor of their parents (usually mothers) means more future workers for the ruling class to extract labor value from, which usually means more economic growth and more bodies for when war breaks out.
