Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence
A study by the Canadian government states that "violence was twice as common
among homosexual couples compared with heterosexual couples".[1]
In regards to homosexual couples and domestic violence, studies indicate
that as a whole homosexual couples have higher rates of promiscuity than
heterosexual couples. In addition, studies report that homosexual couples
have significantly higher incidences of violent behavior which will be
covered shortly. These studies are not surprising at all given what
pathologists have stated regarding the commonness and brutality of
homosexual murders.
Regarding studies regarding homosexual couples and violence, a recent study
by the Canadian government regarding homosexual couples states that "
violence was twice as common among homosexual couples compared with
heterosexual couples".[2] According the American College of Pediatricians
who cite several studies violence among homosexual couples is two to three
times more common than among married heterosexual couples.[3] In addition,
the American College of Pediatricians states the following: "Homosexual
partnerships are significantly more prone to dissolution than heterosexual
marriages with the average homosexual relationship lasting only two to three
years."[3]
In June of 2004, the journal Nursing Clinics of North America reported the
following regarding homosexual couples:
“ Domestic abuse is under-reported in the gay community...
Male-on-male same-sex domestic violence also has been reported in couples
where one or both persons are HIV-positive. Intimate partner abuse and
violence include humiliation, threatening to disclose HIV status,
withholding HIV therapy, and harming family members or pets.[4]
”
In 2000, the New York Times in an article entitled Silence Ending About
Abuse in Gay Relationships cites some information which may indicate that
domestic abuse may be under-reported in the homosexual community.[5] The New
York Times article states the following:
“ But the issue of gay domestic abuse has been shrouded by silence
until recently...
For years, gay people have tried to keep quiet about the problem, said Dave
Shannon, coordinator of the violence recovery program at Fenway Community
Health, a gay and lesbian clinic in Boston.
Mr. Shannon said: People feel, 'Why should we air our dirty laundry? People
feel so negatively about us already, the last thing we should do is
contribute to negative stereotypes of us.' [5]

The Journal of the Family Research Institute using data from the U.S.
Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Center for Disease
Control concluded that "married men who are not separated are at least 25
times less apt to be domestically attacked than a homosexual male in an 'on-
going relationship.' Even if we include all married and separated husbands,
the risk of domestic violence in a male-male homosexual relationship is
still at least 18 times greater."[6]
Another study indicated that 83% of homosexuals report they have been
emotionally abused by homosexual partners. [7]
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Domestic Abuse Fact Sheet states
that "11% of women in homosexual relationships and 23% of men in homosexual
relationships report being raped, physically assaulted, and/or stalked by
an intimate partner".[8]
A study published in The Journal of Family Violence reported among its
participants that "Emotional abuse was reported by 83%" of its participants.
[7]
A study in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence examined conflict and
violence in lesbian relationships. The researchers found that 90 percent of
the lesbians surveyed had been recipients of one or more acts of verbal
aggression from their intimate partners during the year prior to this study,
with 31 percent reporting one or more incidents of physical abuse. [9]
A 1985 study of 1109 lesbians by Gwat-Yong Lie and Sabrina Gentlewarrier
reported that slightly more than half of the respondents indicated that
they had been abused by a female partner.[10]
Coleman, in a 1990 study of 90 lesbians reported that 46.6% had
experienced repeated acts of violence.[11]
A study of 113 lesbians reported (1994) that 41% said they had been
abused in one or more relationships.[12]
In their book, Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them: Battered Gay Men and
Domestic Violence (1991), Island and Letellier postulate that "the incidence
of domestic violence among gay men is nearly double that in the
heterosexual population."[13]
The Journal of Social Service Research reported in 1991 that survey of 1
,099 lesbians showed that slightly more than 50 percent of the lesbians
reported that they had been abused by a female lover/partner, "the most
frequently indicated forms of abuse were verbal/emotional/psychological
abuse and combined physical-psychological abuse." [14]
A study of lesbian couples reported (2000) in the Handbook of Family
Development and Intervention "indicates that 54 percent had experienced 10
or more abusive incidents, 74 percent had experienced six or more incidents,
60 percent reported a pattern to the abuse, and 71 percent said it grew
worse over time."[15]
