Where’s the Brokeback version about the woman who finds herself in a physically abusive same sex relation?
There are women who are surprised to realize that female lovers will beat them up as well.

PS. The caller in Lawrence v. Texas was a lover of one of the two men. He had a case pending of physical assault by his lover. He was murdered before it came to trial. The murder case is still unsolved and apparently because of the high profile nature of the other two men (politically charged and all that) little regard for investigating possible suspects.
Farrah was indeed absolutely brilliant in that movie.
I would add that movies are often made by the “bad guy” in the movie, the one you love to hate who gets it in the end. Paul LeMat, as her husband was excellentas the alcoholic abuser. God I hated that character. Much like Scott Glenn in Urban Cowboy.
I’ve always thought that murder is a good solution to my problems.
That movie made a big impression on me, because it reminded me of all the attractive women who would dismiss a man as a “nice guy”, then go choose someone who would beat her regularly.
