A bit of personal information here: I'm a monogamous bisexual.
I bring this up only to stress that I have some personal experience here and can tell you from my perspective that both love and desire feel the same whether it is felt for a man or a woman. Toward the end of my single years, after I discovered my versatile nature, it made no difference to me whether my significant other was male or female. When joining online dating sites, I'd wished there could be an option for "seeking either". When friends offered to fix me up, my first question was usually "what gender?" but this was more out of curiosity.
After kissing many proverbial frogs, I finally did meet my wife and am now happily married. She can't have children due to some health issues she's fighting with. It's unfortunate as we both would like to have children but that doesn't exactly invalidate our marriage or our relationship. Would you call our marriage an "abomination to nature" or does the fact that she's a woman ease your delicate sensibilities enough to give it your seal of approval?
The couple that owned my condo before I lived there are a same-gender male couple. They're raising an adopted son together. They're a happy family but I'm guessing you'd rather they be treated as pariahs while the son gets to be raised in an orphanage?
Were I to look at sexuality from a similarly prejudiced and bigoted view as you have, I would wonder why anyone has any strong preferences at all. Love, as I've said, is the same emotion regardless. That's how I discovered I was bisexual. Even the physical mechanics are more a variation on some familiar themes than something completely different. The most significant distinction is with one you use birth control and the other you use lube. So what's the big deal?
Of course, I don't view sexual preference that way. I understand that it's about brain chemistry.
