It's important to note that we're hard wired because it was evolutionary beneficial to "push out" people who look bad/incorrect/not-normal. If you have a gene that mutates then it's possible you could have other mutations that make you not suitable reproductively so it became ingrained to avoid those who look bad to get genes that would produce more fit offspring.

Also I thought that in 2020 it is becoming more generally recognizes that people have a right to an “affectional” preference. It should be OK no to be attracted to someone.
