If homosexuality is NOT a choice, then to what extent should we consider other types of sexual attraction involuntary? For example, foot fetishes, beatiality, necrophilia, pedophilia, i.e. the whole range of human sexual expression, both mundane and extreme.

If you keep on going, you'll understand why 'choice' has no place in this discussion whatsoever.

It is unfortunate for, say, pedophiles, that children are incapable of exercising legal consent and/or physically incapable of engaging in sexual activities without suffering harm, but that's the way it is. That's why the act is abhorred, and rightly so. But, nobody would choose to be like this.
