But when the shoe fits....
If being gay is a choice as some would have us believe, then does that mean at some point in their life they were attracted to both sexes but chose to like the opposite?
Decisions are made unconsciously by the human mind at all times, however conscious choice does always include a connection to these levels of decision making, so in general conscious choice usually is not included in the processes that occur in defining personal attraction.

I've said before I believe a person can make the "choice" of their sexuality subconsciously and then consciously accept that and act upon it. Still makes it a choice.

Nothing backs that up if you are talking about sexual orientation.
Can a straight man choose to have same sex? Yes.
Can a gay man choose to have straight sex? Yes.
But, that has nothing to do with what their body makeup tells them which gender they are attracted to.
There is enough research to know there are indicators that sexual orientation is inherent.
It has nothing to do with their subconscious.

I like how you state that subconscious has nothing to do with as if it's a definite point. No one has ever proven scientifically that the subconscious has nothing to do with sexual orientation because it's almost impossible to determine EXACTLY how our subconscious works. Let's not make deciding factors here. I simply stated it was a possibility, you're saying it's a fact when it is not.
because there was a point at which they questioned thier own proclivity...that would seem to place thier feet firmly in thier mouths...
As a heterosexual, I don't EVER remember making any 'choice'...
