I'm not an anti-homo drum beater, though the thought of 2 dudes is repellent, but it sure seems like a very high number of gay men are abusers, creeps, or worse. My theory that people who are abused as children become abusers themselves may be supported by this data.
44 percent of lesbians and 61 percent of bisexual women experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 35 percent of heterosexual women
26 percent of gay men and 37 percent of bisexual men experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 29 percent of heterosexual men
46 percent of bisexual women have been raped, compared to 17 percent of heterosexual women and 13 percent of lesbians
22 percent of bisexual women have been raped by an intimate partner, compared to 9 percent of heterosexual women
40 percent of gay men and 47 percent of bisexual men have experienced sexual violence other than rape, compared to 21 percent of heterosexual men

This Geraldo interview with a Dance Fever performer who accused Merv of sexual harassment says yes. This was in the comments on the blind item.

Does that mean BDSM, or what? What is "sexual violence other than rape"?
NOMOCHOMO ago
My guess is sexual assault that isn't fully rape
Ie: unwanted groping, slapping, etc
Blacksmith21 ago
I doubt that would be included as "violence" as it is a 2-party consent thing. But who knows. Change a definition, change the stats.
