Homosexuality and submissiveness are caused by prenatal hormones, while height is influenced by circulating hormones during puberty. The former can impact the latter but they're not identical. I had extremely low T during puberty but have the sexuality of a normal straight male.
On male height vs non-heterosexuality on OKCupid, I suspect the left side of the graph can be at least partially explained by short heterosexual men self-selecting out of online dating (because they are so unsuccessful, due to stringent female height preferences). This would line up with 6'2" men being the most straight - straight 6'2" men are very successful on dating apps and thus use them more.
Just measurement error? Besides some Hispanic trends none of these shifts look that impressive. And Hispanics can be explained by some story about immigration.
Just a speculation on height and homosexuality - women have a preference for tall men, but prefer them up to about 6'3"-6'4", which corresponds to the lowest incidence of homosexuality. 6'5" and above men are less attractive to women and that loss of attractiveness increases with greater height - as does homosexuality.

Luxury beliefs held by elites? Taller than average significantly is correlated. Intelligence with openness too.
OkCupid blog also have similar queerness vs height plot for women, but they deleted it and I do not know if anybody has a copy of it.... SAD.
