虽然据估计，家庭虐待在男女同性恋亲密关系中与在异性恋关系中一样普遍，但法律的制度往往不承认或应对同性案件。关于性取向对虐待感知的影响的实证研究几乎不存在。本科生（N=252）阅读了家庭暴力事件的摘要，其中受害者和肇事者不同的性别，并暗示，性取向。受害者和被告的性别，而不是夫妇的性取向，主要影响家庭虐待的反应。对妇女的家庭虐待被认为比对男子的虐待更为严重，需要进行干预。妇女比男子更有可能相信受害者，并建议刑事司法系统进行干预。由于涉及男性受害者或女性施暴者的家庭虐待案件不符合性别角色定型观念，因此在刑事司法系统中可能得不到公平对待。版权所有（C）2003约翰威利父子有限公司。
Although it is estimated that domestic abuse is as common in gay male and lesbian intimate relationships as in heterosexual relationships, the legal system often fails to recognize or respond to same-gender cases. Empirical research examining the impact of sexual orientation on perceptions of abuse is virtually nonexistent. Undergraduates (N=252) read a summary of a domestic abuse incident in which victims and perpetrators varied by gender and, by implication, sexual orientation. Victim and respondent gender, rather than the couple's sexual orientation, primarily affected responses to domestic abuse. Domestic abuse perpetrated against women was perceived to be more serious and in need of intervention than abuse against men. Women were more likely than men to believe the victim and to recommend criminal justice system interventions. Because they are inconsistent with gender role stereotypes, domestic abuse cases involving male victims or female perpetrators may not receive equitable treatment within the criminal justice system.
