according to the research YOU posted the difference in suicide rates between heterosexuals and homosexuals is about one suicide a year.Well Sweden is recently rated the most gay friendly country in the world, and the next on the list is Canada. LGBT travel index puts Sweden top, and warns against some popular destinations Despite this gays are much more likely than straights than to kill themselves there.
Ongoing research shows that rate of suicide attempts in the western world is steadily dropping. In the United states the suicide rate among LGBT individuals has dropped 54% in the last ten years

the resources you cited say it is the causePlus it is more than just because of homophobia the cause of this.
he is the one who said it in his book "swallowed By Satan" where Sciambra details his years as a member of an Idaho Neo Nazi group. HE details how he would idolized Hitler calling him the “ultimate male” and “a new messiah, superman reborn.”The link is not an neo nazi but a former practising gay guy but left the gay life to live as a orthodox celebrate catholic guy because the gay life nearly killed him. I guess you may consider him a neo nazi because he is a writer in a socially conservative catholic newsletter. But I never have seen any thing that indicates he is a neo nazi.
Sciambra first became interested in Nazism after acquiring a Nazi soldier’s hat from a German businessman. He says the hat ended up having a power over him: “Clothed in a relic of the past, the dead ghosts of buried degenerates could take over my body”
what are yo now?Well I used to be gay
well you aren't heterosexualtoo and know the gay world very well. I know apps like grindr, scruff, etc. I know the bars, the beats and gay affirming parishes. I been there and done that. I no longer identify gay and what is more important is how the Lord identifys me than what I identify myself with. Sure I can have temptations but through the holy spirt the Lord guides me through this.
considering that two thirds of LGBT youth in Australia experience abuse and violence because of their orientation i find it difficult to believe that gays are treated equally that most don't care if one is LGBTBTW I admit I even went through bouts of deep depression, yet I certainly will say that homophobia was not the primary the cause of it. Besides I live in a society where gays are treated equal, with gay marriage, and a vast majority of people do not care if one is gay or straight. In addition it is popular for schools to celebrate wear it purple to support gay people. Plus there are so much resources out there including extensive government support for gays.
