There does not seem to be a clear-cut term for genetic homosexuality - in fact, the best description of it is potentially the one used in the wording of the question.
A related term which describes identity based on biological characteristics is 'sexual identity'.

There is no current genetic link at this time.

Homosexuality or being gay is it genetic or birth disorder or what?

Do evolutionist believe that homosexuals will breed themselves out of existence?
Let us take this question from a genetic and scientific standpoint.The notion that homosexuality is caused by a "gay gene" is a weak theory and has yet to be fully supported by scientists. If homosexuality was caused by a gene, that gene would have to be passed on to cause the phenotype (homosexuality) to show. Since homosexuals do not usually breed to produce offspring, then that gene is not being passed on. As a result, the homosexual population would die out. Clearly, this is not the case so it is evident that homosexuality is not caused exclusively by a gene.The theory accepted by many scientists is the idea of homosexuality being caused by the balance of intrauterine hormones during pregnancy. This is a biological factor as opposed to an exclusive genetic factor. Because homosexuality is determined as a mutually exclusive event, it will not result in the population dying out.
What may be the reason to prevent homosexuality if it is genetic?
Homosexuality cannot be prevented. Also, it is not believed to be purely genetic. Sexual orientation is something that is fixed at an early age, possibly birth. Being gay is just as natural as being straight. Even if there were a way to prevent it, there is no reason to prevent it.

If homosexuality is proven to be caused by genetics then shouldn't gays and lesbians already be protected by the constitution?
That question is moot, because homosexuality cannot be from a completely genetic cause. In studies done on identical twins, only half of the other twins of gay men were homosexual. If homosexuality were completely genetic, then all of the twins would have been homosexual. Besides, genetic predispositions are not protected in the Constitution.
What scientific field was created when recombinant DNA was first made in the 1970?
