Homophobes and transphobes will use anything to vilify our community. We can’t let this fear make us shy away from shining a light on LGBT+ DV stories. #survivor #lgbt #dv #domesticviolence #coercivecontrol #LGBTQIA #survivorstories

[Alexandra Havas @AlexandraHavas]

All I see are heteronormative experiences of domestic violence (DV). There is stigma enough as a survivor of DV; I don’t need the added stigma of constantly being asked how a woman could perpetrate violence against me. #survivor #lgbt #DomesticViolence #CoerciveControl #advocacy
