GHB Date Rape
Same Sex Assault
Same sex domestic violence SSDV is very much a hidden issue within the mainstream community and the gay and lesbian community. There is a poor community understanding of DV, lack of services especially those with gay and lesbian cultural experience and membership of a small and often marginalized community. The threat of or actually outing a partner’s sexuality can be a very effective form of control because it comes with a raft of fears about rejection and isolation. This is especially true of people in their first same sex relationship. Someone can be outed to their family, friends, work or community. A further heterosexist control is to use other people’s homophobia as a form of control. So an abusive partner may convince their partner that others won’t accept their sexuality or the relationship and can use the associated fear to limit their social interactions, their family contact or even their career. There is a community wide myth that women aren’t perpetrators of abuse or violence and that men aren’t victims of it. This perception is also held by many in the gay and lesbian community. So when DV happens it is dismissed as something else – either a fight, an argument or just going through a bad period. Actually Domestic Violence in same sex relationships is very similar to DV in different sex relationships.

Military Victims
The United States military is set apart from civilian culture by its own law, social customs, and practices. This affects the military’s response to sexual assault and often makes it difficult or even impossible for victims to obtain the help they need and the investigation they deserve. Sexual assault in the military is often called "command rape."

"Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself." Confucius
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore
Roosevelt- Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic",
delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910
