I think it's more due to culture than nature. There is a heavy stigma attached to male homosexuality, whereas lesbianism, being seen as non penetrative, is globally considered non threatening (I know that many gay men don't have penetrative sex, and that you don't have to be gay to enjoy receiving butt sex, but that's the image attached to it). So for a man to acknowledge and/or act on his homosexual tendencies creates a lot more social friction than it does for women. The few who go against the social norm are those whose tendencies are strong enough to be close to 100% gay. That's why male sexuality appears more binary and immuable than female sexuality. In a context where social judgment is truly lifted though, I'm pretty sure they'd have similar bell curves.
