You don't have to be gay to know that a lot members of the LGBT community do not have the same support networks that straight people have. They may be out on the street (And abusing substances) because they were thrown out of something that is supposed to be their support network in the first place. Like their home or their family.

So yes, let's use the power of humiliation, let's get some sunlight on this and see how many family values types are throwing their gay children out on the streets and then claiming their homosexuality and their substance abuse problem are linked.
