What tradition and cultural values exactly?

Allowing gay people to exist doesn't mean you're forced to participate in any gay activities. Just like allowing a video game with a gay character to release doesn't mean anybody would be forced to play that game.

Saudi Arabia is a country where having families and raising children plays an important role in society. Since homosexual relationships do not produce children, it doesn’t really fit in with Saudi tradition of starting families. If homosexual relationships could produce children, then perhaps it would be more compatible with Saudi Arabian society.

I know that we are steering away from the topic of FF16 being banned in Saudi Arabia, so I will end my discussion here. But if you wanted to know why homosexuality is not seen favourably in Saudi Arabia, there is your answer.

I applaud the right for the way they drive their message effectively even if their entire line of arguments are based false hypotheticals. I don't understand how it became a mainstream opinion that LGBT rights are a threat to families. 

The family structure in the west has been under attack by the right and by the Neo-liberal policies for over 20 years (unfortunately, pushed forward by the centre left). But nope, it's the LGBT rights (which ironically would encourage gay to start families of their own through adoption or other means). 

Houses not being affordable anymore on a single salary working full-time, unless you're in a competitive field and at the top of your game 100% of the time or being asked to spend more time and money chasing college degrees to be "worthy" of a decent salary, or get two jobs or signed mortgages from cradle to grave etc. Yet, all I hear is how the LGBT community is a threat to families and birth rates, what a nasty cop out.
