| AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW: A Report on Gay Male Domestic Violence and Abuse http://www.mincava.umn.edu/documents/rainbow/At%20The%20End%20Of%20The%20Rainbow.pdf This study seeks to explore the patterns, forms, frequency and impact of domestic violence and abuse on battered gay and bisexual men as well as their help-seeking behaviors and reasons for remaining in abusive relationships. It is perhaps best considered as a „hand-book‟ for victims, perpetrators, service providers and the community at large – a first step in the long task of assisting to resolve this issue and establishing appropriate community services. Specifically I seek here the answers to three primary questions: (1) What are the forms of violence and abuse battered that gay and bisexual men are exposed to and where do they perceive help to be found? (2) What are the unique factors and issues in gay male domestic partner abuse? and (3) based on these answers, how effective is our community service response? Details | Report |
