You don't see to have much of a clue about biology. Personal reproduction in social species is not necessary. Social species have a "division of labour". For example, in bees and ants most females [the workers] do NOT produce eggs or mate. That is the job of the queens. The workers tend the young, defend the nest, etc, etc. Some mammal species, like Meerkats and Naked Mole Rats also reproduce cooperatively.
So there is nothing "biologically" "sinful" about non-heterosexual behaviours.
In biology one is only on very firm ground with FORM and FUNCTION. Inferring PURPOSE is more difficult. Take an "easy" example, like the wings on a bird. yes, these organs have the FORM to allow the FUNCTION of flight, but birds can use them for other purposes. Penguins use their "wings" to "swim" in water, but flightless birds do not use wings for flight.
So you can see how assumptions can get us into "hot water" very quickly.
And how about haemoglobin and red blood cells? Essential for complex animal life yes? Well, no, not always. For example, take the family of fish called the Channichthyidae. These bloodless "ice fish" live in Antarctic waters. They have no need of haem or RBC's because the ice cold waters are rich in oxygen.
The "take home" message from this is that in evolution, "context is everything".
So no naturalistic fallacies, if you please. Is that really the best you have got?
So far you have not produced any rational argument either biological or theological, that would support your bias against non-heterosexual folks
