If homosexuality were preventable should it be prevented?

no thank you

1) That's assuming that genes are what causes homosexuality. There are a whole stack of other possible causes for homosexuality (none of which are chosen).

2) Would it be equally bad to manipulate genes to eliminate Parkinsons or Down Syndrome or Sickle Cell Anemia or other detrimental genetic conditions?

Personally, I can see why people might want to prevent homosexuality, but the main reason boils down to social norms: being gay means people will hate you and any romantic relationship will be treated like it's not a 'real' relationship. That being said, I don't see any good reasons to eliminate homosexuality anyway.
