Abuse thrives in silence — and it's time to speak up for every voice.

Domestic violence affects people of all identities, but LGBTQ+ individuals often face unique forms of abuse, systemic barriers, and deep social stigma that make seeking help even more difficult.

This important book shines a light on the real experiences of domestic violence within the LGBTQ+ community — offering validation, clarity, and practical support for those living through it, recovering from it, or working to address it.

Inside, you’ll discover:

The distinct dynamics of abuse in LGBTQ+ relationships

How homophobia, transphobia, and family rejection compound trauma

Real-life stories from LGBTQ+ survivors

Barriers to accessing shelters, legal help, and medical services

Inclusive tools for safety planning, healing, and finding affirming support

Written with compassion and backed by research, Domestic Violence in the LGBTQ+ Community is both a resource and a call to action — challenging outdated assumptions and offering hope for change.

Everyone deserves safety, love, and dignity — no matter who they are or who they love.
