My God-Brother use to have sexual encounters with someone we grew up with. We consider this "someone" to be heterosexual. After their excounters he would fight my God Brother and beat the hell out of him. A few years ago in Newark, NJ (where I rest), a young lady stabbed her lover and killed her at a gay club. That type of drama I expect (I know that's insane), but the majority of my gay friends were in abusive relationships a some point in life.

I am well aware of the physical abuse in homosexual relationships. I have a very good friend who is in a relationship that has had its abusive moments...on particular incident was at the annual gay ski trip when he and his lover had it out in the hotel room resulting in someone being hit in the face with a crystal ash tray. In another more recent incident, during Brooklyn pride, I spent my evening in the hospital nursing another friend after being attacked by his lover, which resulted in him having a staple placed in his head. It still amazes me that people will remain in these types of situations. I want to get into further depth with you regarding these two situations and perhaps assist you on part two of your entry.DaLite1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01051796006357277238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548536.post-1126706998391419062005-09-14T10:09:00.000-04:002005-09-14T10:09:00.000-04:00It is encouraging to see from the article you have...It is encouraging to see from the article you have linked that 90% of gay men who were sampled left the abusive relationships as compared to 66% of women.N4Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159521416061385061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548536.post-1126706291150179722005-09-14T09:58:00.001-04:002005-09-14T09:58:00.001-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.N4Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159521416061385061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548536.post-1126706290017270292005-09-14T09:58:00.000-04:002005-09-14T09:58:00.000-04:00This was interesting indeed!

I more familiar with heterosexual couples and I can go on for hours about them. Either way it is important to bring attention to this problem. In doing do we empower people in this crisis to step away and get help early.<BR/><BR/>Very often I say that could never happen to me. I am sure everyone who had been abused has said the same thing but what separates the ones that do from the ones who don’t is personal inner strength. For those who lack that we need to encourage them that love isn’t an excuse for someone beating your ass.<BR/><BR/>Good job on the post and I look forward to Part 2.N4Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159521416061385061noreply@blogger.com
