Hey it's everyone's favorite White Christian Heterosexual Cisgendered American Male (except for all the others). If I was rich (and a WASP), I'd be so privileged I could melt people with my privilevision.
I've met a bisexual. Went to school with one in fact. (different people too.)
What I am surprised at is the high turnout of asexuals like myself. Statistically, we account for about 1% of the population. (according to wikipedia anyway... <.<
Continued existence of Homosexuals and Asexuals despite not feasibly being able to pass on the genes for it: Proof Evolution is wrong. Checkmate atheists.
That would certainly be an interesting take on the old standbys. "Homosexuality cannot have evolved, therefore it was created by God."
The prevailing hypothesis for homosexuality (at least male homosexuality. The mechanism does not align with female homosexuality) is that the more male offspring a mother carries, the more her body produces antibodies to the androgenic hormones the fetus produces in-utero.
This has a considerable amount of statistical data to back it up-- A male child that is the 7th male child to be born from that same mother has an almost 70% chance of identifying as a homosexual male later in life, by the numbers.

This could well be a natural phenomena with evolutionary underpinnings-- Namely, in social groups with large numbers of male children present in our evolutionary past, it would have been beneficial to group survival to have non-reproductively competitive males around for their higher statistical body size and strength, but with lowered intragroup aggression and posturing. That would have contributed to the survival of other, more reproductively inclined offspring, and produced a safer and more stable environment for said offspring, improving species survival.
Nature doesn't care about what the animals themselves think about the adaptation, afterall.
By this school of thought, I wasnt antibodied enough by my mom to be straight up gay. Just enough to cause my nervous system to wire itself ambiguously. While I am the second born male child, I am actually the 3rd male fetus. (ectopic pregnancy.) This places my statistical chances of being impacted into the "Significant" category, by this theory.
The banal assertion you jokingly made is made from ignorance. An atheist would rip them to shreds.
