I have to agree with you on this

Because we're more open minded, and if you can control yourself and do drugs in a safe environment with people that you trust, it can only be fun, anything is bad if its goes overboard

Depression, isolation, and lack of purpose and loving relationships. There's so many gays in their 30s and 40s that are still running around hooking up and going to nightclubs, trying to keep up their physical appearance, and struggling to find a purpose while most straight people are starting families.

People want to be sedated from emotions and reality when they don't feel accepted for who they are.

Not all gays, only the gays who are a part of the gay community and the hedonist gay culture.

Of course it has a lot to do with depression but it's also the gay community's fault. I've always said this but how prude and ignorant of me. Gays complain about the lack of loving relationships yet they're the ones who promote the hook-up and drug culture as normal to young gay teens because we're "open minded" and so *liberal*. They don't just promote it they even defend it. I don't care about the gay community and my life is so much better without this toxic culture. I wouldn't blame society for it. I would blame the gay community for it. The society is at a point where even gay marriage is accepted. Stop with this victim mentality and *we are all drug addicts because homophobia etc.* No you're not. You're a drug addict because you have no values or a moral compass.

There's a huge gay party scene so it's a by-product of that.

50's and 60's gay men as well (it's full of them on gay apps searching for sex), and I would say majority of gay men in general than the ones who stay in stable relationship or get married.

However it's not easy time not even for straight "family" men especially nowadays, they're getting divorced very easy, they find themselves alone in their 40's-50's ecc, with legal troubles with their ex-wives or girlfriends, house's loan (most of the time they not even live there because wife and children staying there) and with children to maintain in general, another rent to pay for themselves.

I know a lot of staright men in this situation and in all honestly I don't envy them like I don't envy some of my firens that are already getting married and having children in their 20's, family is becoming an utopy, maybe I'm selfish and sad but I still prefer a gay life at this point (but without drugs) that being trapped in a marriage with troubles only to fit society.
I'm obviously open to a stable-close relationship if I'm gonna find the right one but with a different state of mind and keep maintaning my indipedence.

also what has do to one complaining about love lacking relationships and having casual sex? oh thats right anything but NOTHING

Because a lot of gays don't grow up in loving homes.

Homosexuals are oppressed and nightclubs are the only place many of them - especially the older generation - feel safe. Nightclubs are generally where drug intake is higher thus it impacts the LGBT community more than straight people. The most common drug used by straight people is cannabis, whilst 'club drugs' range from ecstasy to crystal meth and methamphetamine. Drugs like heroin and crack cocaine also have a higher rate among homosexuals but they're fairly low, much like heterosexuals. These aren't 'club drugs', proving the analysis that it's based on where each group is in society.

One of the only well-reasoned and -informed posts in the sea of ignorance and self-hatred that is this thread.

It's really the final reasonable conclusion
It's rampant even in areas where being gay is more socially accepted
