DC is exactly 10%
This report does NOT represent the truth I can guarantee that.
Open-minded democrat states are all in the top because the accept gays more and therefore they aren't ashamed to say "yes". The red states on the other hand where gays gets there asses kicked for saying they are gay are all at the bottom of the list probably because gays are afraid to answer yes.
Also, it is impossible taht onlt 2 to 3% of the population is gay. There are a lot more gays thant that I can guarantee it.
I would look a little more closely. First of all the variance state to state is not that great. Then there are the Dakotas. North Dakota is last at 1.7%. S. Dakota is 7th among states 4.4%. Kentucky is 0.1% less than California and 0.1% more than NY. Georgia and Florida more than Connecticut.
I have no quibble with your argument that this probably bullshit. The rest of your analysis is on a par with everything else you say about the US. Ignorant and wrong.

That DC thing thing "taxation without representation". They put it on their license plates as if its something to be proud of. Isn't something they should be pissed about? Like paying taxes and having no voice?

I don't think they are putting it there as if they are proud of it. They are pissed about it. They do get three electors in Pres and Veep elections but don't have a Congressman or Senator since those are reserved to the states.

It is supposed to make people aware that DC residents pay federal taxes, but have no voting representation. The plates were made because people are pissed, not proud.

It's true man, lots of people are secretly gay or bisexual like the Amish and then continue marrying the opposite sex and having children, and living totally secret lives.

Are school shootings population control? What about drunk/geriatric drivers who kill people in cars?

Who says Homosexuality is passed down through the homosexuals themselves?
What if it's your mother, and her mother, and her mother's mother.
TL;DR Even Though I Should Because Matttt has some interesting stuff to say: I agree that homosexuality is a way of population control, and is present in many species of the animal kingdom. It may have evolved as a natural way to prevent the overproduction of babies in times when there is lots of food.
BEHOLD... A LIKELY CAUSE
The prenatal hormone theory
The mother produces hormones which signal the development of a fetus. These hormones can also play a role in the development of the Amygdala, which is a part of the brain involved in emotional reactions, facial recognition, and even sexual orientation.
Homosexual male brains and bodies with more or less access to testosterone than heterosexual males during the fetal stage become can become Hypermasculine (Lots of Testosterone) or Hypomasculine (Little Testosterone). This does not mean all gay men are either more or less masculine than heterosexuals, it just means that during early brain development, testosterone levels can change the way your Amygdala is wired and ultimately, influence which gender you can find yourself attracted to. Does this also apply to lesbians except with Estrogens instead of Androgens? The research hasn't been done on ladies yet to my knowledge.
The Fraternal Birth Order Affect in Males
The theory holds that Fraternal Birth Order is a result of a maternal immune response that is produced towards a factor of male development over several male pregnancies.
Quote:
The target of the immune response may be malespecific molecules on the surface of male fetal brain cells (e.g.,including those in the anterior hypothalamus). Antimale antibodies might bind to these molecules and thus interfere with their role in normal sexual differentiation, leading some later born males to being attracted to men as opposed to women. -Anthony Bogaert

I don't see why literally everything has to have some kind of evolutionary need/basis. Why can't homosexuality just be a neutral, neither bad nor good? You could argue that having an anal fetish is population control at work 
I think people in general over think homosexuality. And obviously all statistics regarding homosexuality are null and void because even if everybody that knew they were gay actually admitted it there are probably hundreds of thousands who are confused and not sure if they are gay or bisexual or just weird.
Don't mean to shit on this thread but its a pointless issue to consider, the science of homosexuality I mean (just saying that sounds fucking ridiculous).
Once the social issue of homosexuality is fixed (which will probably be never) people should just stop talking about or studying homosexuality and get on with their lives.
Kind of like the inverse of what we did with homosexuality a century ago, not talking about it because its totally accepted and a waste of time to talk about not because its so taboo

Yeah I think it stems partly from misunderstanding the processes behind evolution. Evolution is not some conscious planner saying "we need some of this and that trait for population control."

Agreed. I once talked to a hardcore christian about evolution and realized this is essentially what he believed evolution was about.
I told him no, its not like some fish was like "you know what would be cool? If I had a little light to see in the dark." It was just random chemical reactions that created light, the lighted helped the fish survive in darker environments, and the offspring gained more and more light until it became what it is today.
And he was like "Oh, that makes a lot more sense."

I don't believe its that random, the evolution of vaccine resistant bacteria would be an easier example than the fish. As new circumstances are thrust on an organism it adapts or faces extinction, I don't think this is a conscious effort anymore than I think red blood cells are conscious of adjusting toward new viruses / bacteria.
Neither does it seem entirely random only to survive based on whether the mutant survives, that may be what anyone believes but its not an opinion I share.
