Gays very much want us to believe this really is a "chicken or the egg" kind of a question. If nothing else, gays are the ultimate victims. Not responsible for their choices, unable to help themselves, only delving deeper into self-destructive behavior because everyone else is mean to them.
There are SO many groups in society that engage in unacceptable behavior. We would, as a society, scoff at any other that used this "victim" approach. We would expect them to buck up and quell their particular flavor of irresistable urge. Hell, I'm sure most of us harbor such urges. We have learned to try to suppress the counterproductive, unhealthy, self-destructive ones.
No, I cannot believe it is society's fault that gays are less able to suppress their self-destructive hedonistic tendencies. Not entirely.
