Given the greeks were ok with gay sex it does seem logical to conclude that Abrahamic religions are more anti-gay than the Greeks and hence it is due to the religious customs of said Abrahamic religions.
That said, its not like Abrahamic religions are uniquely anti-gay. East Asian and South Asian cultures also are anti-gay. Only the humanistic west is allowing gay marriage at the moment so while it is certainly cultural / religious there is a common them in human created societies -- perhaps to encourage population growth etc. The ancient Indian Harrapan culture of the Indus river used to be very pro phallus so again -- so perhaps more pro gay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus_Valley_Civilization
But violence will exist regardless.
