Hasn't figured out this "straight" business
Is there an unwritten rule that certain species tend to be gay? Like a male fox or bunny fursona. Or am I just totally full of it?

Typically, the cuter it is, the gayer it is. At least it seems that way

You know, in hindsight I should add bear fursonas to this list. For obvious reasons.

I mean, it's kind of a personal choice. People either pick what they like, or what others give them.
I have seen both, and it really has some connections.
People say foxes are all homosexual and they all are sub. Wolf are all dominant and CANNOT be soft personality, and tend to be heterosexual in bigger numbers. Even i used to say that all dragons are all egoists and have supremacy complex (and it still stands in a lot of cases) but there are exception. Everywhere.
One of my best friend has a fox sona. And he is the furthest from homosexual... and not close to sub at all.
At the same time i have another friend, who completely sub and homosexual with a fox sona.
Another friend has a wolf, and he is also homosexual, and the cuddliest person ever. Now this exact person complained how others asked him, why he isn't a fox instead. "Barely any changes. Bit of marking change and you can be a fox, to fit your personality".
But even with exceptions, we can't ignore the fact, that yes, there is connection between personality and fursona. Most of the foxes are sub and homosexual, calling themselves the biggest sl**s in histoty. Bigger part of wolves are indeed heterosexual, and act like they are some kind of apex predators with howling, biting and fighting habits. And sadly... most dragons actually act like they have supremacy complex, with their size mania, calling other inferior and (my favorite) their impenetrable skin, and their idea about being some kind of made up god.
BUT. That is just what i experienced in here, and on several discord servers.

P.S.: I barely saw any rabbits around. So sadly i can't really tell much about them. The only rabbit i know is trans (male to female), and she is into males. So i can't count them gay into that species.

I highly doubt it's an explicit rule within the fandom. I don't think it went like "Commandment No. 69, All Foxes Are To Be The Biggest Of Gays So Help You Furry God". I think it's a just a trend within a fandom. Maybe some really popular furry had homosexual fox fursona (or character) and then a bunch of clout chasers decided to follow suite and now everyone does it.

There is no "rule" about it.
I see trends here and there, tendencies of certain types to choose certain species as a fursona, but you can be what you want.
And if someone tries to give you grief about it because they misjudged YOU based on your 'sona, that's THEIR problem to sort out, not yours.

I think it's largely based on furry fiction. "Fox" is an easy shorthand for "sub bottom"; if you put a fox in your story, you don't need to explain to your audience what he's into.
Interestingly, a study by Furscience found that domestic dogs are more likely than other species to be queer, and in committed relationships; foxes are more likely to be male and cats are more likely to be female, but otherwise they didn't find any fursona-to-gender/sexuality correlations.

Aren't fox fursonas really common in general? and considering that the furry fandom, from what I've heard, attracts a fair number of lgbt individuals, it could just be a matter of two common things overlapping, giving the illusion of correlation between certain species and sexual orientation/preference.

In tenderness we trust.
There's no such rules at all. The only choice here regarding the specie(s), orientation or gender is your own - you should follow your personal preferences, not someone's opinion or stereotypes.

Yeah if you don't follow these rules a laser spawns and fries you
No, no rules on gender, sex, etc based on what species. You can do or be whatever you want to, no rules at all.

I highly doubt it, I've seen a lot of straight Foxes on F-list.

If there was classification like that then every wolf would be edgy, every fox would be a slut, every bunny would be male slut and every cat would be femboy.
Naaah there are stereotypes but let us be honest, who eould even bother trying to classify something in this community?

I mean, furry stereotyping is a big reason why I don't really settle on a particular fursona and can't figure what I'd actually pick because of how people view different species. You're better off just picking some attributes and then applying them to different species when you deal with certain people.

I've seen no real pattern in the species, but the furry community tends to be disproportionately gay/bi/etc so it might come across by sheer coincidence.

There are no actual rules but there are prevalent sterotypes and they exist for good reason. Almost every male fox or cat (dometicated) tends to be extremely gay and subby. Hyenas are a mixed bag but lean more towards gay/lesbian, atleast in my experience. Wolves are an absolute mixed bunch due to the volume of them.
But keep in mind this fandom is majority LGBTQ+ so most people tend to throw their sexualities onto their sonas.
But rule of thumb is the cuter or smaller the more likely it's either gay or bi with severe sub tendencies.

Not.... really?
I've been part of quite a few fandoms and they were all pretty gay.
Really? hmm that's interesting. I've only been in a few other fandoms and they didn't seem to have as many gay people as the furry fandome does... but then they weren't as open and accepting of LGBT+ stuff either... I guess it depends on what the fandoms are for :/ idk?

Steven Universe, Hetalia... a lot of slashes in anime fandoms.
Though the last two were yaoi rings where it was more fetishism? Still, it was pretty damned gay.
