Sorry, I'm not sure which part of those sites supports your claim.

Identification and expression, in gender and sexuality, are not the same as choice.

A gay person living in an society oppressive to gay men would not choose to identify as gay and may express themselves as being straight, but that doesn't mean their orientation is heterosexual.

They may choose to repress their sexual orientation or gender expression for the sake of survival, or other reasons, but the innate feelings behind the expression are typically not choice. Do you think LBGTQ people in countries where expression is punishable are death are just casually opting to risk the lives of thmeselves and their family?

Not coincidentally, LBGTQ people were persecuted and exterminated by Nazis.
