You make 2 points here taht are simply factually incorrect. 1
1) Marriage is union between a man and a woman.
Actually, different societies have different marriage customs. Polygyny in West Africa, polyandry in Tibet, group marriage among the Paharis of India, temporary marriage among the Arabs, marriages of convenience, etc. Homosexuality is also tolerated in many different societies, transvestism is a common cultural institution in Western Samoa, for example.

2) Homosexuality is not "natural" and animals do not engage in it.
In fact, our closest living relatives (chimps and bonobos) are primarily bisexual, homosexuality ahs also ben noted among primates and other mammals. Homosexuality is perfectly common in nature.
