An interesting trend is appearing in research of the demography of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people.
In short, nonwhite men are more likely to self-identify as gay or transgendered than white men. However, nonwhite women are actually less likely to be gay or transgendered than white women.
It would therefore seem that there is a genetic cause for the increase rate of homosexuality among nonwhite men and white women. The resesrch, one author notes, is baffling:
"In short, minority men were more likely to assert an LGBT identity — young African-American and Latino American men approximately 50 percent more likely, and young Asian men about a quarter more — than young white men, while African-American women were only somewhat more likely to do so (12%) and Latino and Asian American women less likely."

What theories account for racial differences in sexual self-identification?
