I think that we as humans are unable to comprehend the universe fully as we can only observe from a human perspective which isn't necessarily the correct way to look a the universe for complete understanding. Our brains have evolved for survival purposes

Nope.

Gays can use a surrogate and lesbians can use a donor.

Or they can have "straight" sex before coming out.

And let us not forget that bisexuals not only exist but are actually common.

Ha! Skipping over the whole exclusion of adoptive / surrogate parents, there is still a lot of denial out there and it was even worse 10, 20, 30 years ago. I’m aware of quite a few divorces because one of the parents finally came out after having children.

Our common sense is constructed and based on the scales of things (whether it's sizes, weights or spans of time) we experience in our immediate surroundings. It's based on spans of time of a fraction of a second to a few decades, and sizes from as small as a grain of sand to the size of a mountain. We struggle to fathom things that don't fit between those limits such as the workings of cells, the much smaller interactions between proteins, and even much much smaller when you get to atoms and subatomic particles. Same goes for the Interactions between the absolutely huge things like stars, black holes and galaxies, which they themselves are minute in comparison to the scale of the universe.

Reality is far more absurd than we're capable of registering, being able to learn of it but not truly understand it, constantly going back to the simple little perception we have where everything just goes on with structure we can make sense of.

Bi people, people who are gay and didn’t realize/come out until after kids, pansexuals, gay couples who have used surrogates to carry/have sperm donors, plenty of examples really

Was this a shower thought or just half a thought you had while washing your hands?

I think i see where you’re coming from. We are all the by-product of a sperm and an egg, and without the woman and the man conjoining, we simply just would not exist.
