There's a difference between something that's purely genetic (left vs. right- handedness, hair color) and something that might be partly genetic and partly psychological. And you know it.
There's also a difference between something that's "partly psychological" (or even entirely psychological) and something that's a choice. We don't know whether there is a genetic factor behind sexual orientation, or if it it something else, like something in the pre-natal environment. What we do know is that it is not a conscious choice on anyone's part.
Sexual attraction isn't hard-wired from birth...at least, not for everyone.
I dispute this, or anyway I dispute that it's not hard-wired from puberty. But also, I would suggest not confusing bisexuality with a changing orientation. If one is attracted to both sexes, one can choose to lead either a straight or a gay lifestyle. Of course, one will remain attracted to the "unchosen" gender, but how is that any different from a person in a monogamous relationship being attracted to others outside it and having to resist temptation from time to time?
