If homosexuality were preventable should it be prevented?

[Esquilax]

They need a father and a mother. When deprived of one, or the other, they look to others to be a father figure or mother figure, and this is well known to cause problems. You can counteract this, to some extent, by having a stable substitute father figure or mother figure for them, but it's still not ideal.

Just a heads up: when someone requests that you back up your assertions with real data, just restating your original premise just makes it look as though you have no evidence.

As to this talk of needing a father and a mother... without getting too in depth, I would have been far, far better off without my father in my life. I had neither an effective father or mother figure in my life, and I turned out just fine. Where are you actually getting this from, anyway? I mean, do you have any evidence, or are you just going from personal experience and tradition?
