No man or woman would say they made a choice to fall in love with their spouse (or that they chose to no longer love them!). Why then would you say a man who fell in love with another man made a choice to do so?

Your friend was gay from the start, which probably contributed to his problems with women lol.

Did I choose to fall in love with my wife? To an extent. Did I choose to act upon that and have sex with her and marry her? Of course I did.
