I think most people tend to lump bisexual in with homosexual. In that case, yeah, 2 to 3 percent is probably on the low side. If they don't include bisexuality then that figure seems reasonable.
I've worked with plenty of homosexuals and at some places there were more and at others there were less. It's really difficult to get an idea based on daily life observation because the environment definitely plays a part.
For example, in my current job I've worked with at least %15 homosexuals. At other jobs I'd be surprised if the number was any higher than zero. There may have been homosexuals but they never said so and nobody asked. Not a don't-ask-don't-tell thing, just the general sense of this-place-don't-tolerate-no-fancy-pants-types. Not that I think I've ever worked with many people who would have had any problem with it but were I gay, I'd probably be reluctant to make it publicly known as well.

That said, I agree with you on the issue of circumcision at least insofar as I don't believe there is much reason for it anymore. However I don't think it (male circumcision) really has much to do with gender inequality, and I'm not sure it ever did.

Well, first of all, you know nothing at all about me so don't get it into your head that you do. You know your narrative and how you apply it to people. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Secondly, had you been paying any attention you'd know exactly why I mentioned what I did.
