If homosexuality is really a genetic thing, then wouldn't they eventually become extinct?

That's not the argument. The argument is that it's biologically based, not genetically based. There is a tremendous difference between the two. If an unborn female child, for example, is exposed to testosterone in the womb, she might develop male characteristics (both psychological as well as physical). That is not necessarily determined by genetics, but would nonetheless be biological in nature and outside of her control.

"The argument is that it's biologically based, not genetically based."

So what you are saying is that it is that homosexuality is a biological defect and our scientists should be researching ways to cure this horrid condition.
