It's not a choice.

You still didn't show any sources that prove it's not.

Research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation ranges along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the other sex to exclusive attraction to the same sex. However, sexual orientation is usually discussed in terms of three categories: heterosexual (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to members of the other sex), gay/lesbian (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to members of one’s own sex), and bisexual (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to both men and women).

The following is a quote from the APA (American Psychological Association) - basically the gold standard reference for these types of issues. Take note of the inclusion of bisexuality as a sexual orientation.
