I don't have any interest in having kids, but I really don't think that wanting artificial insemination means that you're secretly heterosexual.

in nature it's a strictly heterosexual deal

It's actually quite natural for other orientations as well:

I can see this happening in nature if maybe both of the original parents got killed off or something. The presence of homo-penguins means that the offspring might get rescued and safely reared by the happy couple instead of perishing.
