Why do you think male homosexual have more mood and anxiety disorders?

Why do gay men have more mood and anxiety disorders?  True, I think discrimination against gay people plays a role.  I also wonder if social expectations of men play a role, too. I mean, I remember, back before I transitioned, if I was upset, if I cried, if I ever really expressed very many emotions, the response I usually got was "man up" or "be a man."  

So, part of me wonders, maybe gay men don't have these issues more as much as they're willing to express these issues more.  Specifically, while straight men may worry that it makes them "girly" to feel upset or angry or to be seen crying, gay men don't have those worries quite so much.  It would make an interesting study if I was a sociology or psych major.
