Not exactly sure what you’re getting at.

If you’re saying that gays who are rejected by their families tend to go off the deep-end in “moral” areas (anti-religion, drug use, etc.), then I agree. They are often searching for the same sense of community that they once had, so they’ll find it even if it’s to their detriment.

While a lot of gays are religious, it is also true that a lot of them are agnostics/atheists. However, those same gays will often believe in OTHER supernatural/paranormal things, including the concept of good/evil spirits (or some equivalent to the force or something equally as nebulous), so it’s generally not a rejection of faith and belief like pure atheism. It’s a reaction to their childhood.

As for drugs, gay culture is quite bad in that regard. There is simply no denying it. Hard drugs are very common. It’s just one of the many unsafe, depressing, and frankly, disgusting, parts of gay culture.

Gay activists would be wise to reject the parts of the culture that are not healthy , but they don’t, because many of them live it every day.

Well, yes to all of that.

“They” will insist their destructive behavior is all society’s fault for not clasping them to our collective bosom.

The health statistics are unbelievable. I think some study put it at 24 years shorter lifespan (AIDS, drugs, booze, suicide, and of course, partner violence). Extreme, off-the-charts, shallow narcissism/hedonism, maniacal sexual compulsion, the list goes on.

The schizophrenic nature of the culture is well-limned in their own publications; which proclaim their sainted martyrdom and pious yearning for marriage and family while while reveling in ads and articles for all manner of hookups, sex tours, nightclubs, circuit parties and sex toys.
