Describe forms of violence pertaining to gay and lesbian relationships

What will be an ideal response?


The forms of intimate partner abuse include physical, sexual, emotional, economic, and identity abuse. It should be noted that a one-time assault may be considered a criminal act; however, it would not be considered abuse unless it is ongoing as part of a pattern to control the victim. Some intimate partner violence is severe; victims report the use of weapons such as firearms, bottles, vehicles, rope, and the use of an attack dog. The rate of violence appears to vary among ethnic populations.
