That's a rather self-serving and selective definition and rationalization of human sexuality based on your own biased Biblically Correct perceptions.
The reality of human sexuality is much more complex, diverse and dynamic.
First and foremost, you attempt of pigeon-hole and restrict human sexual functions to merely the function of reproduction. Which is an enormous mishap of misinformation on your part
Human beings have the capacity for great sensuality. This capacity for great sensuality is not restricted to or exclusive to the genital organs of our bodies. In fact, our capacity for great sensuality is distributed through out our bodies and invloves many, many .....many parts of our bodies. With one of the most important and significant body parts being our brains and our intellect. This is a naturally occuring aspect of our biological structure.
Furthermore, many animals in the animal kingdom are also have the capacity for sensuality and non-procreation based sexual activities. it's naturally occuring.
The capacity for sensuality and sexuality are not defects. Nor are they disorders of any kind. Nor genetic. Nor psychological. It is in fact a very natural biological and intellectual capability.
The animal kingdom has a plethora of animal species which participate in both homosexual and bi-sexual activities and behaviors. These behaviors occur naturally. Always have and always will. These behaviors are not a result of a defect or the result of a disorder.
Homosexuality, much like hetrosexuality, begins at the biological and hormonal level; as well as intellectual level. It is a variational mechanism of biological function and form. Nothing more, nothing less.
Functionally speaking homosexuality serves and aides in natural population control. It helps to either prevent or curtail over-population of any given species. In the animal kindom, in many species, homosexuallity not only serves and aides in natural population control, but it also creates a bond of unity and social order; within the community.
Neither human beings or any other species of the animal kingdom make a "conscience " choice to be homosexual. There first has to be a pre-existing biological and instinctual attraction to members of one's own gender. Even people who claim to have made a "conscience" choice to be homosexual, must have the biological and intellectual capacity of attraction and sexual/sensual stimulation to one's own gender.
My conclusion is, if it takes a male and a female to naturally procreate, then homosexuality is to be considered a mental defect or a genetic defect since they are mentally uncapable of having sex with the opposite sex. APA used to say that it was a mental disorder but removed it, presumably at the behest of the gay lobby. Now since the APA says that homosexuality is not a genetic or mental disorder then what is it?

Great. Now show some credentials if you want to be taken seriously. I prefer to put my faith in the opinions of educated people who study human behavior for a living.

Once bi-sexuals are allowed to marry then no one would be able to present a cogent argument to deny polygamy.
And then it snowballs from there.
Okay, let me see if I have this straight.
One Bi-sexual or homosexual marrying one other Bi-sexual or homosexual, equals opening a Pandora's Box of polygamy?
I'm sorry. But exactly how does that work, again?
Did one hetrosexual marrying one other hetrosexual open the box to polygamy?
Going by your logic, it should have. Because by your logic, one plus one equals one plus infinity. So that should have worked the same way for Hetrosexuals. Oddly, it did not.
In fact, the argument against Polygamy was always the high and inevitable incestual/genetic ramifications.
But Bi-sexuality will lead to the very same incestual/genetic ramifications.

I will say this, though.
When you consider how badly hetrosexuals have trashed and dishonored the commitment of marriage, which they always vow under the watchful eye and "approval" of God; I find it unusual and odd that it's always the religious right that so angrily opposes homosexual marriages. laughable, really.
