(1) Given that humans have more than one wish it's not possible to always do what humans mean.

Human values may not be consistent, but this is a separate failure mode.

(2) What do you think human mean when some humans say that homosexual sex is bad because it violates god's wishes?

Much of the time this statement could be taken at face value. I may not believe in god, but that does not make "god hates fags" an incoherent statement, just a false one.

Does that mean that the AGI should start doing genetic manipulation that prevents people from being gay? Is that what the person who made the claim means?

In the same way it's supposed to deal with real live people.
