How about minorities tend to live more in cities and urban areas. Some gay people live in conservative areas and rural areas. Some fraction of those people living in rural or conservative areas may under report being gay for fear, personal preference, social stigma, etc. Those rural and more conservative areas tend to be mostly white. That is what was mentioned in the footnotes of the actual study. I seriously doubt there is a significant difference in rates of homosexuality between different races.

Also, the notes in the study said they weighted the results based on census data. We saw how well Gallup failed in the last Presidential elections so I would take them with a grain of salt.

Nailed it. I used to live a few blocks from boystown in Chicago and watching young men move to an area where they were suddenly allowed to be themselves was interesting.

This part is often true, but only because gays (being more feminine) tend to care more about their appearance than most straight men do. Metrosexuals (straight men who are in touch with their feminine side) dress well too, but they are a minority of men.

Metrosexual is a neologism, derived from metropolitan and heterosexual, coined in 1994 describing a man (especially one living in an urban, post-industrial, capitalist culture) who is especially meticulous about his grooming and appearance, typically spending a significant amount of time and money on shopping as part of this.[1] The term contrasts heterosexuals who adopt fashions and lifestyles stereotypically associated with homosexuals.

Dressing well or grooming doesn't make you metrosexual, excessive grooming does. Get a monthly pedicure, a weekly spray tan, and spend 45 minutes on your hair, etc.

Its just a coined term anyways so it doesn't really matter.

Out of curiosity, why does a man have to be "in touch with his feminine side" to dress well?

Maybe its because being a man they think more similarly to straight men and so are able to make women hotter in ways that straight women hairdressers can't?

Face it. Homosexuality is a an abnormality. If it could be prevented by simply taking some vitamins it would be pretty stupid not too.

IMHO there's no way being gay is biological, it's more environmental. So this argument is irrelevant.

Wouldn't a lack of or excess of certain nutrients for a developing brain be an environmental influence?

I suppose, but my point is that being gay (IMO) is not innate, sexual orientation is developed as a person matures through puberty. So what happens pre-birth is irrelevant to a person sexual orientation.

Black women in general are not usually attractive, maybe that's why the dudes turn gay?

Since lynch mobs killed disproportionally more straight black men than gays, the gays on the down low who had wives and children were more likely to live long enough to pass on their genes than the horny straight black men who leered at white women.

Too few lynch mobbings occurred to do that. Even if it was a Gene only passed from Homosexuals. It doesn't seem to be that though.
