Ah, billions of guys.
Realizing you're a homosexual is something to celebrate!
The realization or the acceptance of it by yourself and your family and friends? I imagine just realizing you're a homosexual can be a very life-changing moment that can illicit any number of responses, including suicide. Acceptance from your family of the fact you enjoy sodomy with men can help raise your self-esteem.
The reason Rick committed suicide was the clash of a number of things happening at the same time. He realized he betrayed his girlfriend, he gave away all their money, he just had sex with a guy, thought about how his dad would feel about what he did, etc. In a hasty, stressed out moment, he throws himself out of the window.

PAUL: Around the park, sir!
RICK: We don't have any money.
PAUL: Amigo, when will you learn? Money is
the one commodity you can always get.
(Paul howls)
Hyah!
RICK: I'm gonna have to explain to Elizabeth
about the money. She gets so nervous.
Hey, Paul, come on. Stop that.
PAUL: I was wondering if I could f___ you.
RICK: I don't do things like that.
PAUL: That's what makes it so nice.
===========
I think Paul basically raped Rick (he says "I was wondering if I could f____ you" - he didn't say "s___" you). So Rick therefore felt extremely humiliated the next day. Plus hung over, lost his money, girlfriend angry at him, yes it was a combination of all that.

Paul didn't rape Rick, my goodness. Rick initially was taken aback by Paul's advances, but it's made very clear that, not only did Rick ultimately consent but that he enjoyed it. There's a reason men enjoy anal sex. It's called a prostate.

A prostate is a reason men enjoy anal sex? Would you care to explain that? I am not being a wiseass (no pun intended), I would really like to know.

Anal sex stimulates the prostate for men. It's kinda the male G spot. Even hetero men can be aroused that way, though few will admit it.

Thanks! I did not know that. Frankly, I was wondering just how enjoyable gay sex could be for the bottom - thought it had to be more painful than enjoyable... Indeed, one lives and learns.

This is the problem with a film like this, that the author is writing for people with a certain awareness of things. A certain awareness is required from the viewer.
I think it's fairly well-known that suicides are seldom the result of one event. People who commit suicide are troubled, long-term, and often have been having suicidal thoughts long, long before they finally killed themselves.
People who commit suicide are also often prone to keep everything bottled up inside. They hide their anguish. Family and friends often comment that the person, "Seemed so happy," not troubled at all.
My sense is -- and I watched the film last night -- Rick was just another in a long line of maladjusted and troubled young persons, attracted to and then chewed up and spit out by the Big Apple.
Of course if you don't know any of this, if you've never read about, watched or pondered the subject, then yes I guess it might make little sense when Rick killed himself. As a viewer -- to enjoy a film lke this -- you need to bring something to the film. Maybe Google "suicide" before you decide what you think. Before you decide what's believable and what isn't.
As one writer/director once said, "The audience needs to do some work too!"
That's just my take, though.

Outside the US, with it's bizarre Puritanism, anal sex is actually THE most popular form of sex for STRAIGHT men. Why? Because it hits the male G spot, which is incredibly pleasurable. American straight men who have discovered this are always shocked but thrilled to do so.
