But the function that is seen in nature for gay couples is to become serrogate parents for orphaned babies. That sounds a lot like adoption to me and therefore the "it's natural" argument would work just fine for gay couples adopting kids.

Interesting, I didn't know that! Do you have a link to an article or a study about that for me to read?

Sadly it's not my field so I tried to find some articles for you to research but I keep coming up with books you'd have to purchase or articles which are behind a paywall.  

Here're the links: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016953470800298X

That second one is apparently a book specifically on homosexuality in animals and how researchers have attempted to make sense of it in the context of evolution. Seems like the perfect read for your interests.
