Apart from the STDS, the other behaviors are because being gay is often ostracized and stigmatized in practically all societies.

You're making a big assumption here. It is possible that stigmatization is a contributing factor, but if it were, we would expect a marked decrease in such pathologies among homosexuals in the West in the last twenty years due to the relaxation of any such stigmas, and even the promotion of homosexuality as normal. As far as I know, there is no such decrease, even in the age of "gay marriage". Homosexuality is a disorder of not only sexual behavior, but primary identity as well, and this, by itself, can cause enough distress for a person to self-medicate. The greater the reckless abandon into the disorder, the greater the distress, requiring the greater amount of self-medication and distraction (in the form of more sex and drugs).

Well “as far as you know” is not evidence supporting your claim regarding destructive behavior by homosexuals. I know many gay people from the 80s and present day and from my observations, WAY LESS DRUG USE and HAPPIER PEOPLE today compared to the 80s...
