Domestic Violence in the LGBT Community

Studs abusing femes
Lately i've been hearing about studs abusing their femmes...and I am completely and utterly appalled to learn
That this is an issue in our community...but it just goes to show how we're no different from anybody else and
that we all go through some of the same problems that other ppl who are straight go through...

Why is this happening?
The main problem is that sometimes we (studs) try too hard to conform to the heterosexual definition of
what masculinity is and as a result go overboard in being the dominiate figure in relationships....another
reason some studs abuse their femmes is because of insecurity and jealousy...not feeling sure of themselves
and believing that their femme will eventually leave them for another stud...they resort to violence to keep them.

In other cases, some studs just enjoy the power they gain from hitting their
girlfriends and other studs who abuse their girlfirends may have psychological issues...on the otherhand a
femme who abuses her stud girlfriend is no different..its still domestic violence...
Domestic violence is wrong in any kind of relationship.

What can we do to combat this growing problem?

Well if you know of anyone in a abusive relationship...encourage them to get help..be an advocate of ending domestic violence.Talk about it...speak up....if everyone speaks against it..this will discourage abusers and encourage victims to seek help..
