Lots of people think the way you do. I think there's even a religious group in the States which tries to "cure" gay people.
But it's like anything; once you attempt to deviate people from the behaviour that seems most natural to them, you cause them all sorts of unforeseen problems.
In Victorian times they used to force left-handed children to write with their right hand as left-handedness was seen as an aberration or just wilful behaviour. Problem is, they didn't realise left-handed children are more often than not left-eye dominant too. First they got problems with visual perception, then balance issues, and later social and mental issues as the imbalance started to permeate all areas of their life. Something as simple as handedness is linked to all kinds of things. Imagine how much truer that is of sexuality.
Alternatively, how would you feel if you lived in a society that wanted to cure you of your straightness and forced you to sleep with your own gender? Whatever horror you feel about that is exactly how a gay person would feel if you imposed exactly the same thing on them.
