Do you know a battered Homosexual who need support?

[Danno 1,228]

After such interest in the high rates of sexual abuse of men by other men in the military I thought I should share this website.

and start another conversation about what we can do to help those who are battered?

The high rates of domestic violence everywhere is concerning and something we should all take note of but Gays like everyone else also suffer at the hands of their Partners, some research shows in even higher numbers

so that I why I wanted to get this avenue of support out there.

Now it is true, I am not a big fan of the militant Gay Movement but I think we can all agree, "No one deserves to be beaten" so please pass this link on to your gay friends and perhaps post it to Facebook as I have. And share your thoughts on what else we can do to protect the LGBTQ folks.

That looks like the Westboro Baptist crew.

Ahh you do know that they are registered Democrats and the head guy ran in elections a couple times.... wearing "D" on his shirt... just like the one you wear.

Battered and deep fried? Why would you want to do that to a gay person?

[Danno 1,228]

Please people, take your hate to another topic, I was hoping we could use this space to help the broken among us.

The Westboro Baptist crew is a lot more like you than it is like me. I don't wear letters on my shirts and I ain't no bigot.

Should have spared this thread of your hateful comment in the OP, then. But you can't because your bigotry always gets the upper hand.

No you wern't. - I'm calling it as I see it.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I'm sure the 'broken' won't be calling you up anytime soon.

EDITED AS IF YOU CARED

In this thread I am not going to give in to the hate..... my goal to bring help is more important than defending my honor.

I also have additional resources for the LGBTQ folks, if you need it, PM me.

I am there for you.

No one deserves to be beaten.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Troll thread.

[Danno 1,228]

Troll thread.

Why can't we all just link arms and agree- Violence is not an answer?

I disagree with alternative marriages but we can agree that domestic violence should never be acceptable.

Will you take my hand?

Cant wait to see your dedication to the abused LGBTQ folks.

I look forward to seeing this thread bumped in a months time to keep the message 'out there'?
