(Australia) - For several years now, we’ve been reading a fair bit in our community press about domestic violence in same-sex relationships. It turns out the report was completed by about 300 people, 189 females compared to 116 males, and while the total number of respondents who reported any physical abuse was 34 percent, among the male respondents, that figure was significantly lower. Of the 116 male respondents, 30 (or just over 25 percent) said they had been in a relationship where their partner had hit them or thrown things at them, and three respondents said this behaviour happened in their current relationship. That doesn’t sound like the “third most severe health problem” facing gay men today. The statistics and statements about gay men here are being used in an apparent attempt to secure government funding.
