Oh, it's very possible and we all know it. Look, if they tie homosexuality to a certain level of androgen in the womb, say level X, whereas level Y is normal, it is extremely easy to monitor the woman throughout pregnancy and give her hormone injections to bring her up to level Y. You don't need to rev up the hormones to some level that is dangerous to the mother or child, you just have to bring them up to normal levels. Will it ensure heterosexuality? Probably not, but it would cut the chances of the child being gay drastically.
As for the gay rights movement bringing acceptance, yes, people accept gays, but most sane people know that being gay is more difficult than being straight regardless of society's acceptance. Life is harder growing up and knowing you are different: I'm gay, take it from me! If this treatment become available and I were a parent, I don't know that I would use it, but I would seriously consider it. I think people who dismiss this out of hand are the ones who need to get their heads examined. Would you really put your liberal value system above your child's well-being? Remember this isn't hurting the child, only making him straight.
People want what's best for their kids, and privately, most people think heterosexuality is part of that.
