You have to understand that being gay is a sexual orientation and personally I don't really think you can just choose to like the same or opposite sex. You just kind of do, it's encoded into you. I can't just go "you know I like guys now" and then just boom, I'm sexually attracted to men. You just kind of like what you like, it's not just "ehhhhhhhhh yay I want to like men today". I hope this is coming off correctly.
There have also been studies that show most gay people show physical and hormonal features similar to the opposite sex, suggesting that being gay is something you're born with.
When trying to figure out if it's a choice or you're born with it you also have to remember that each case is individual, everyone isn't going to be the same. So, that being said, there are definitely people out there that just want to be special/different and they will choose to be gay, and you know, that's ok it's their life and they can live it how they want.
