It's simple. Christianity influences society to be hostile towards gays, a hostile society and rejection drives people to various vices as coping mechanisms.

It's basic psychology.

Reread my post - I mentioned same thing you mentioned, about living in an oppressive or hostile society.

But yes, you and I agree then - sexual orientation by itself is not a determining factor in liklihood of substance abuse. Rather, being gay in a homophobic society is one of factors.
