One of his conclusions:

---

If a biological basis [for homosexuality] is found, and if a prenatal test is then developed, and if a successful treatment to reverse the sexual orientation to heterosexual is ever developed, we would support its use as we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin.

It's no more controversial than finding out whether your child is male or female, or at least it shouldn't be. As homosexuality becomes more and more accepted (and look at the amazing strides in the last few decades - from unmentionable to gay marriage!) people aren't going to care. There are probably genetic tests that can tell you whether your kid is going to have blonde hair or brown eyes too, but people don't bother, because most people don't really care.

Frankly, I feel the same way about sexual orientation as I do about sex selection. It would be better for everyone concerned if idiot fundamentalist homophobes don't raise gay children anyhow, just as it would probably be better if sexist misogynist pigs who would abort a fetus because it's female not raise girls.
