To answer the question... I think I would choose to eliminate that trait. The reason is not that I am anti gay, because I am not. I believe it is 99.99% a genetic cause and I think that all people should be judged on their merits and not on their sexual orientation, gender, color, ethnicity, etc.
The sad part of it is that society has not "matured" enough and I would not want my child to be subject to the cruelness and stupidity of those that make up this segment of society.
Therefore, in the hypothetical scenario you are presenting, I would also want to eliminate additional traits that attract similar consequences, such as obesity, speech impediments, learning disorders, etc.

Excellent, thank you.
Although with regard to obesity I think it's often the result of one's circumstances later on in life or from poor choices, not from any genetic defect. Not always, but often.
