The site in the OP is an extremely right-wing news site and references a study that's more than five years old. Conservatives will go to great lengths to demonize LGBT people and don't care about the facts of the matter. Go to any Baptist church and you will still hear sermon after sermon about how most LGBT people have more than 10,000 partners in their lifetime and ingest feces. People believe if because they want to believe it and if you question it, you are a pawn of Satan, brainwashed by the librul media.

Statistics show that domestic violence incidents is roughly the same among homosexuals, heterosexuals, and bisexuals.

Oh look, American Family News. That can't be biased or anything.

CDC releases data on interpersonal and sexual violence by sexual orientation

It's roughly about the same, with some populations experiencing more than average and some less(bisexual vs lesbian).

"The first set of national prevalence data on intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence (SV), and stalking victimization by sexual orientation was released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study found that lesbians and gay men reported IPV and SV over their lifetimes at levels equal to or higher than those of heterosexuals"

"This report suggests that lesbians, gay men and bisexuals in this country suffer a heavy toll of sexual violence and stalking committed by an intimate partner.” said CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden. “While intervening and providing services are important, prevention is equally critical.”

Too bad we can see the breakdown of who commits these crimes broken down by race. I'm sure we all would not notice anything about those numbers.

Then what do you want done about it? Do you want a ban placed on the practice of homosexuality? Those caught doing it would be charged with a felony and subject to imprisonment?

I'm not surprised. If you have a bisexual partner, there's twice the number of people he or she can cheat on you.

That is so weird. Because my best friend, along with my landlord & the group of gays that I know are like, soooooo nonconfrontational. They gossip like you wouldn't believe but I've never seen any catty slapping or punching. Dang, I need to ask them to up their violent natural tendencies because it can be downright boring hanging out with them.

Of course they do.

When I researched the news source I totally shut down.

I really do hate the way conservative media has divided everyone and have gotten into the business of informing the unlearned in such a way they can feel comfortable in their stupidity.

Someone will take the article and digest it and spew their ignorance to the wrong group. I don't feel sorry for the people who digest the mess.

Percentage that don't fill up the ice cube tray:

Homosexuals 34%
Heterosexuals 26%

It never ends with "the gays"!

I've seen the report before. The most most interesting statistic was the 20% higher # associated with bisexual female vs. Heterosexual female between 11-17 for sexual assault. That would seem to indicate that current sexual orientation for current bisexuals was influenced by an earlier sexual assault?
The # sounds rather large so im thinking there is some missing data?

The other thing that sticks out as mentioned before is they dont identify who the perpetrator of the crime is?
