Lesbian and Gay Domestic Violence has long been an issue of the LGBT community but this is new to me. Yes going to a gay bar and getting pissed may find you waking up the next morning in a strange bed and perhaps a new tattoo! But, what you speak of far beyond that. This needs to be looked into.
Hi Sally,
Indeed the above post made shocking reading, but people should be aware of what is going on.
I had read about Eudy Simelane some time ago - what she went through was beyond belief,heartbreaking and horrific
and it,s so hard to comprehend people inflicting such atrocities on each other.
The lesbian gangs you mentioned in Tennesse and Philadelphia - I cant help but think that these individuals are not evil lesbians, but evil PEOPLE, and are that way regardless of their sexual orientation.
As most people know, rape has rarely anything to do with sex and everything to do with power, control, wanting to humiliate the victim.
As women are protrayed the “softer, more compassionate” sex, it is always shocking when you learn of a female commiting a violent, sexual crime.
It is hard to get round my head, the idea of a female raping another female, but it obviously does happen, and should we be more shocked than when we learn of yet another male raping a female??????
Hi Roger, I agree and hope I never wake up to anything like that x
Hi Sandra, the Eudy story is very sad, I almost cried reading about her x
Yes Sally it exists. I am guessing you were talking about me right? Most of what you read is total crap but the main things are true, lesbians are not going to go public about this. I personally know someone whose been raped and it hurts a lot when you find out that person Is your very own partner. And that wasn’t bullshit.
I noticed on the video of Eudy that the other 3 men were being tried on the 29 july 2009. Has anyone heard how the trial is going…
Hey Dori, you emailed and another girl emailed a long time before you did. I know what you and your gf went through, it wasn’t nice x
Hey LA, the girl with a thousand names, nope not heard what happened at trial will need to google it x
Hi Sally,
Really good to ready your article on Lesbian rape. This unfortunate reality (which I say from personal experience) has been swept under the carpet for far too long. I was sexually assaulted by my boss many years ago here in the UK. The reaction from the media/general public/colleagues etc., was quite shocking. It was sensationalist (a juicy story to sell papers)and hugely dismissive. After the assault I deliberated over wither to go to the police or not & eventually decided (after a great deal of subsequent sexual harrassment) that in order to prevent this from happening to anyone else that I would go to the police. What a nightmare that proved to be!! The subsequent media attention/harrassment/and several court cases resulted in my health deteriorating rapidly and eventually my handing in my notice at work. My experience highlighted two fairly strong beliefs - firstly that women do not assault other women ( a belief highlighted when I attempted to engage in PHD research on the subject - many academics blatantly told me that women are passive and that I would cause a great deal of damage to the womens movement in pursuing this subject of research), and secondly that in order for this to happen, the victim must be a lesbian herself and that therefore - get this - was asking for it……by definition of being gay of course….At the time I had only ever had relationships with men - surprisingly since then I have now had a couple of great relationships with women . But as a result of my experience have remained extremely quiet with regards my sexuality.
Anyway - just wanted to share a little of my story and on a personal level to say thanks for taking a slightly more objective approach to this subject.
