Peer abuse is rampant, so it's almost inevitable that any given gay person will have been abused. The abuse that comes from being perceived as gay based on stereotypes tends to be more violent and persistent.

You didn't provide the studies you base your opinion on, so I have no way to know if your claim that the two have been linked is true.

Again, if gay people are not more likely to act in a stereotypically gay manner, and you've said that they're not, then there is no reason to believe that gays are more likely than their straight peers to be abused for behaving in ways that are perceived as gay.

This turns out not to be the case, as shown by this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11501300

We're talking about different kinds of abuse.
