LGBTQIA+ SERVICES DOVE’s LGBTQIA+ Program offers identity-specific counseling services which are affirming and knowledgeable about the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ survivors of domestic or partner violence, including a support group for LGBTQIA+ survivors. View Our LGBTQIA+ Resources! Lesbian, gay, bisexual+, trans, and queer individuals experience domestic or partner violence at rates equal to or greater than straight, cisgender individuals. Between 25%-33% of LGBTQIA+ people experience partner violence at some point in their lifetime. Transgender individuals experience especially high rates of violence, with the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey reporting that over half (54%) of transgender respondents had experienced partner violence. LGBTQIA+ survivors face additional barriers in seeking services and leaving their relationship, including: Lack of focused resources for LGBTQIA+ survivors Cultural myth that abuse only happens in heterosexual relationships and to cisgender people Discrimination including homophobia, biphobia, and/or transphobia Increased isolation due to small and insular community Lack of recognition of the relationship Challenges with parental and adoptive parent rights Fear of being outed All of DOVE’s services are free, confidential, and LGBTQIA+ -affirming.
