法律的追索权是许多家庭暴力受害者的重要途径。对于女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）的人来说，这些法律在历史上是异性恋者。考虑到许多州现在都包含同性关系，我们利用现有的数据集来研究社会人口预测因素对LGB对家庭暴力法的看法的影响。我们的研究结果表明，非白人LGB和那些对执法有负面看法的人对家庭暴力的法律的保护有最负面的看法，因为它们适用于同性关系。这些研究结果对服务提供者、宣传和外联组织以及未来探索法律的途径对LGB受害者的影响的研究都有影响。
Legal recourse is a vital avenue for many domestic violence victims. For lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people, these laws have historically been heterosexist. Considering the many states that are now inclusive of same-gender relationships, an existing data set was utilized to examine the influence of sociodemographic predictors on the perceptions of domestic violence law among LGB. Our findings illustrate that nonwhite LGB and those who have negative perceptions of law enforcement have the most negative perceptions of domestic violence legal protections as they apply to same-gender relationships. These findings have implications for service providers, advocacy and outreach organizations, and future research exploring the impact perceptions of legal avenues have on LGB victims.
