The animals weren't created for Adam. And yes, God did make both male and female animals..one for the other. Animals weren't meant by God to be sufficient for Adam. He was put over the animals...superior to them, not equal.
The Bible doesn't say that Adam desired a help meet as you claim but that God said:
Gen. 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
It was God's will that man have a help meet, not man's will.

I do not deny that homosexual relationships do not reflect the relationship between Adam and Eve. But then again, not much does line up with God's initial creation since the fall of man. God did not create inersexed individuals at Creation yet they exist today. According to the initial creation who are these intersexed individuals allow to marry and have intimate relationships with? Are they suppose to be defined by their chromosomal sex or their genitalia?
Also, may I point out that the term gender is a sociological term which is not sex-specific. I assume you were referring to biological sex.
I do live in the same world as you and would strongly argue that intimacy can be and often is experienced without having sexual intercourse.

Bringing in chromosomal anomalies which are rare isn't an excuse for you to practice homosexuality. Even hermaphrodites, who possess the genitalia of both sexes prefer one or the other, depending on their genetic makeup that determines if they are masculine or feminine.
