PRIDE month is an opportunity to celebrate the le***an, gay, transgender, and q***r community. It is also important to note that the LGBTQ+ community experiences intimate partner violence. According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, le***an and bisexual women are more likely to experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime than straight women. According to the 2015 United States Transgender Survey, transgender people experience IPV at higher rates than cisgender people. This data tells one story, the personal experiences of IPV victims tell us more and highlight the need for responsive, trauma-informed services throughout our state.
