I don't believe that sexual orientation isn't always unchosen. [Why is that the right sentence, and not "I believe sexual orientation is sometimes chosen. Oh, wait, there were too many negatives the first time. Let's try again...]
I don't believe that sexual orientation is always unchosen. I expect in some cases, it is; indeed, you and I know someone well who quite explicitly talks about her choice to be a lesbian. I don't think it was chosen in my case, but I don't much care anymore. I'm happy being queer. But in general, I like what you've written here.
