Never mind that the exact same problems exist with heterosexuals.  Statistically, I have no idea which group has the greater instances per capita.  Anyway, here is an e-mail update from Focus on the Family.<br \/>\n<tt><br \/>\n<b>Texas Case Spotlights 'Gay-on-Gay' Domestic Violence<\/b><br \/>\nBy Terry Phillips, correspondent<br \/>\nSUMMARY: What is the greatest danger to gays; being the<br \/>\nvictim of a so-called \"hate crime\" or the victim of<br \/>\nviolence from a partner?<br \/>\nThe recent murder of a Texas woman by her lesbian lover<br \/>\nhas again raised the issue of gay-on-gay domestic<br \/>\nviolence. It's the secret homosexuals don't like to<br \/>\nconfront.<br \/>\nIt's not that homosexuals don't know that violence against<br \/>\none another is a major problem; they just don't want it to<br \/>\nbecome common knowledge, according to Robert Knight,<br \/>\ndirector of the Culture and Family Institute in<br \/>\nWashington, D.C.<br \/>\n\"Homosexual activists are worried people who don't agree<br \/>\nwith their political agenda may seize upon this and say,<br \/>\n'See, this is another reason to dissuade people from<br \/>\ngetting involved in homosexuality,' \" Knight said.<br \/>\nThe statistics prove it to be a very compelling reason.<br \/>\n\" 'We believe as many as 650,000 gay men may be victims of<br \/>\ndomestic violence each year in the United States,'<br \/>\naccording to two homosexual activists who wrote a book<br \/>\nseveral inches thick on the subject,\" reports Gary Glenn,<br \/>\npresident of the American Family Association in Michigan.<br \/>\nOther data suggests lesbian domestic violence is at least<br \/>\nequal in extent.<br \/>\n\"There is a book called 'Violent Betrayal,' by Claire<br \/>\nRenzetti, in which she documents women are four times more<br \/>\nlikely to be victims of domestic violence in a lesbian<br \/>\nhousehold than in a married household,\" Knight said.<br \/>\nBut the huge disparity is in the reality of a gay being<br \/>\nvictimized by a partner, rather than by a gay-basher.<br \/>\nGlenn concluded that if mainstream media want to be<br \/>\neffective rather than politically correct, they would<br \/>\nshine the light on the semi-secret of homosexual violence<br \/>\nagainst one another.<br \/>\nFOR MORE INFORMATION: We suggest the following resource as<br \/>\nan aid for those wanting to get out of the gay lifestyle<br \/>\n-- or for those who know someone who might: \"Helping<br \/>\nPeople Step Out of Homosexuality,\" By Frank Worthen.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.family.org\/resources\/itempg.cfm?itemid=3520&refcd=CE03FCZL&tvar=no<br \/>\n<\/tt><br \/>\ncomments?  <a href=\"mailto:bob@hypersync.net\" title=\"e-mail me\">e-mail me<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the Religious Right lost concerning their position on sodomy laws due to the recent Supreme Court ruling, they are now attempting to refocus on their arguments that the homosexual &#8220;lifestyle&#8221; is horribly unhealthy and that homosexuality should be opposed &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/?p=174\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hypersync.net\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
