Much like in the X-men film, I think that if there is a "cure", which I think is a misleading term to use, one should be able to choose whether or not to have it, not be instilled on them at birth birth.
The fictional example of the X-men world is appropriate to the discussion of homosexuality and other "deviant" sexual orientations. Both regard a minority group who have been born with a natural case of something they cannot control, for which they are unreasonably persecuted. If we take the hypothetical that a means of making someone not heterosexual, into a heterosexual person, then the cure for the X gene in the film would probably be an accurate mirror of what would happen. Those unhappy with unreasonable persecution would go to be "cured", but would still be despised by anti-LGBT hardliners, and by supporters of the LGBT community who saw it as a betrayal.
The difference between the example of the X-men and the LGBT community is that mutants had the potential to be dangerous to other people, whereas alternate sexual orientations are by nature innocuous when not conflated to being associated with rape, or ridiculous lies about people being "converted" into gays.
The fact of the matter is that much like the example of the X-men, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with being a mutant/homosexual, there is only other people who hate you for being different, and are too cowardly to say that outright, and so formulate nonsensical arguments that hold no real foundational standing.

If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
