Well, no, it doesn't make it "moot," as the vast majority of people are heterosexual. It simply means that the genetic risk doesn't factor in if the "offenders" are purely homosexual.
Of course it makes it moot. If a justification for criminalizing incest is the increased risk of birth abnormalities, then homosexual incest should be considered less of a crime than heterosexual incest. It isn't.
