Ok, so now we move onto a subject not only do we not
like to discuss but now we are going to throw another
issue out there...gay, lesbian and transgendered
couples. Now, they may have chosen a different life-
style than we might choose, but their violence is very
real. And as anyone else, they deserve our love and
respect just the same.




Statistics:



One out of every four gay couples (25%) experiences
domestic violence in their relationship. That is
approximatley the same rate as heterosexual couples.
Now that should tell you something right there. Why,
just because they have a different opionion on their
partners, do we feel we need to critisize them?
