Uh, being fluid and “born this way” aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s definitely not that you wake up one day and decide now I’m gay. Maybe you wake up one day and decide today I’m going to act on it. And as it gets more acceptable in society more people are willing to act on things that previously they could decide not to act on. It’s a spectrum so some people can’t live without acting on, and some people can get by.
I’m “gay” and it’s not something I could change even if I wanted to. But I know that if someone who wasn’t the same sex came along and we got amazingly and there was sexual chemistry I wouldn’t limit myself because I use the label “gay”. (Really I’m about 90% along the spectrum to gay, but it’s easier just to say gay) For other friends they don’t have this, they are just “gay” and have zero interest in someone not the same sex and it’s not a choice that’s just how they are whether that’s through genes or environmental factors.
People have conscious control over how they act and who they sleep with but I’m almost certain they don’t have control over their sexuality.
