“In the beginning was THE WORD and THE WORD was with GOD, and THE WORD was GOD…” and THE WORD of GOD says “…but for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD GOD caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was
sleeping, HE took one of the man’s ribs [took part of the man’s side] and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD GOD made a woman from the rib [part] HE had taken out of the man, and HE brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” [John 1: 1 (NIV); Genesis 2: 20-24 (NIV)]
“Haven’t you read,” HE replied, “that at the beginning the CREATOR ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what GOD has joined together, let no one separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6, NIV)
“If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.”
(Augustine of Hippo)

I believe that God made me in such a way that I need another man. Perhaps it's simply the case that "Adam" was made heterosexual (understandable if he was to be the father of all people) but I wasn't.
