Because the majority of the domestic violence awareness movement has focused on heterosexual relationships, members of the LGBTQ community have been largely left out of the movement. However, recent research shows that LGBTQ members fall victim to domestic violence at equal or even higher rates compared to their heterosexual counterparts.

If you’re LGBTQ, you may face unique obstacles to seeking support around dating abuse, especially when you’re first coming out. Abusers may say that disrespectful or violent behavior in an LGBTQ relationship is normal, but it’s not. 

Know that you are not alone and there are places that can help. Chat with an advocate to learn your options or receive a local referral today. We can provide support whether you’re ready to end the relationship or not.
