When did I become representative of your arbitrary rules?
"Change what," strongly implies no hardwired sexuality. You didn't have to say it.

and how did you decide this? Or did you start having sex when you were 13?

Two separate gay child molesters made me question my sexuality. It took about four years to settle the decision. Quite a lot for a child to handle, you think? I would imagine most would assume they were mere products of their abusers, as is frequently the case.

Hasbians prove your position is nonsense. <-- Every-single-one-of-them.
Chris Hitchens used to be gay.
DeBlasio's wife Chirlane McCray is a Hasbian.

I choose it every day. Fact is, anyone can "become" bi. It's just a matter of allowing your mind to become that perverted.
To clarify, I never thought I was gay, but I know people who did and are not living that lifestyle.
We all have desires that don't make sense at times. You see some random woman in the store and are strongly attracted to her for no discernable reason. Does that mean you abandon your family and run off and chase her? If you believe popular culture and Hollywood, that's exactly what you do. But, we get to choose not to give in to our "basic instinct." We get to choose to be what God tells us we should be, not culture.

Then he chose straight marriage for life. As did McCray. I'm looking at the article you cited, which matches with his wiki entry. You got nothing. "Was bisexual" is not "presently bisexual."

Just ornery for the sake of it? My wife and I have been married coming up on 29 years. We both enjoy the beauty of the human form. THAT does not make our marriage any less committed that anyone else's.

I'm just calling balls & strikes.
Kudos. That's entirely my point. There's an equivocal use of "attraction" that's often thrown around that's easy to exploit. I've had this debate numerous times already.

I think you don’t understand what being bisexual is or what sexual orientation on a whole is. At the very least you seem to be confusing it and the concept of monogamy.
One doesn’t stop being an orientation simply because they’re in a committed relationship with one gender or another. I don’t stop being heterosexual because I’m married... I’m simply just a heterosexual that is married. I haven’t renounced my heterosexuality, I have declared that my husband is my person, the person I choose above all others and the one I am committed to. I don’t look at other men, I don’t find other men attractive, and I don’t explore situations that could lead to developing attractions on any level, but I’m still heterosexual. I’m capable of the attraction to men, but not seeking it.
If one is bisexual, they enjoy attractions to various people and gender identities. If they choose a person to commit to, then they are stating that they choose that person as a partner, not that they renounce their sexuality. They will remain capable of experiencing attractions to others, however, that doesn’t mean they are and it certainly doesn’t mean they act on them or seek them once they are in a committed relationship.
To be honest, I am heterosexual but if you had asked me in my dating years if I was interested in monogamy, I would have said no. I rather enjoyed being single and exploring all the various forms of attractions one can experience. I didn’t see myself “settling down” until I met my first husband... But even then, it was more of a “I guess this is what people do so it’s what I should do too.” The idea of contentment in monogamy and not experiencing sexual or emotional or intellectual attraction outside of one person for the rest of forever wasn’t something I experienced or thought possible until I met my husband. If you had told me back in the day that I wouldn’t notice or look for or even care about other men, I would have never believed you. How one commits to another and their views on monogamy has nothing to do with their sexuality.
