False. You reduce the fact of organic union to a mere "look," which is ridiculous and very shallow. The point is that while ever changing emotion may be the basis of "homosexual marriage," it is not ultimately the basis of true marriage. True marriage is defined by the union that literally is each of us. Each of us is a fundamental marriage of two and only two people. And every single time that marriage takes place, it is between a man and a woman - always. It is us, and any man and woman can engage in it, whether it results in children or not. There is where the emotion in real marriage comes from. Homosexuals can never have it. They don't have marriage. They have something else.

Essential marriage (i.e. heterosexuality) is the basis even of adoption and step parenthood, since all children consist of it, are products of it and not of homosexuality. I have an adopted child and my marriage is merely a copy of the union that brought him to be.

Even this will never be true for homosexuals. What homosexuals will have, at best (which is awful), is heterosexual marriage that results in a child, then a termination of the heterosexual marriage to have the child live in a home that by no means reflects his fundamental identity - a lie.
