I don't think it is just the transbian grabage. I personally wonder if it is people who feel as though they cannot say no to unsafe sex due to homophobia / pressure to have heterosexual sex in order to conform. If they are having a hard time asserting their sexuality and saying no to heteroseuxality due to social pressure, then they probably will not see themselves as being in a strong bargaining position as to what kind of sex they want to have (e.g. condom / no condom) and will therefore not be assertive about having safe sex.

I agree, I think I was a bit too assertive of one possibility. No issue ever has one cause. This would make sense as a cause in many cases. After all, if the rate is 2-7x higher, there's probably many causes. This is an interesting perspective. My bf had a few pregnancy scares before he realized he was gay. So he would've been under the gay pregnancy stat.
