Your "secular argument" is religious as well. Your "ideal" is just an assertion rooted in your religious belief. If I were to design the "ideal" parents, they would be absent impefections I, a heterosecual, must struggle with daily, and I'm not even sure I'd get around to addressing gender/sexual preference. It wouldn't be among the most important factors I'd idenify.
