Marriage is about two people finding each other falling in love, and deciding to confirm that love to the world and to make the biggest commitment to each other. Not because of they have this obligation to push hell spawn out on the world.
There are many examples of infertile woman who married in the bible.
Michal the first wife of King David
There were other couples that were married and infertile but were able to bear children afterwords due to their prayers, however they were not stopped from marrying because they were barren.
So under that premise if Marriage is defined as a committed relationship about love as the condition then it should proclude homosexuals.
Now Horses, that's another story.

And if it's root is in the Bible, why are non Christians allowed to marry?
