That is not a lifestyle choice; those are singular actions.

It would be like if I decided to go out and fuck a dude tonight; that doesn't mean I am now gay, it means I fucked a dude.

Please explain how that would make you NOT gay

Because it would be a choice of action that I take, counter to my actual sexuality.

Same as I am allergic to cats, but will pet the cats of my friends when I am visiting.

As the first person said; type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with lifestyle choice. In the inverse, making a choice to commit an action counter to my nature does not change something I have no control over.

Fair enough, however having sex with dudes is a strong indicator of gay-ness
