Domestic violence in LGBTQ relationships have long been overlooked however there are equal, if not more, cases in queer relationships compared to heterosexual ones. 43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% bisexual women experience violence from a partner where 35% of heterosexual women do. Domestic violence impacts gay (26%) and bisexual (37.3%) men and 29% of straight men. There are greater risks for one who is transgender. A common cause to stay in a relationship is fear of the partner outing them.
