In case the smiley I put after it didn't clue you in, I said that as a
joke.  You know... a little humor to make light of the topic at hand?
It's along the same lines of the joke that gay marriage should be
legalized because heterosexuals shouldn't be the only ones who have to
suffer through it.

The difference is that the former is said in jest, while the latter is
proclaimed in all seriousness on the behalf of the speaker.

You seem to come from the train of thought that if a boy acquires
homosexual tendencies during adolescence, he can be helped to become
heterosexual by administering extra male hormone (testosterone).  That
quack medical theory didn't work 40 years ago, and it still doesn't
work today.

p.s. Short people are the result of truncated height development.  Is
that a bad thing too?  This isn't the Aryan Nation, after all.  It isn't
a failure if your child doesn't turn out to be tall, blond(e), blue-eyed,
and heterosexual.  If you truly consider homosexuality to be a flaw or
disability of some kind, then gay people really have very, very little to
worry about, compared to people with legitimate physical and/or mental
handicaps.
