Center for Domestic Peace believes everyone deserves to be in healthy and loving relationships and offers support specifically to LGBTQ+ survivors. Abuse among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning “plus” (LGBTQ+) people occurs at rates equal to, or even higher than, their heterosexual peers. LGBTQ+ people may face forms of abuse or barriers to accessing support specifically based on prejudices against their gender expression or sexuality.
