They do. And high incidences of domestic violence also. Homosexuals are very violent.
You are correct, but the violence is not always from them, sometimes those who prey on them…druggies etc…I hired a sales person who had a great resume for West Hollywood metro LA territory. He was in dire need of a job. Late 1980’s. He was very successful up until a year before I hired him. Nice guy, but had serious personal issues going on. Did not close any sales and owner of the company said to let him go. Received a few calls from people looking for him after that..he seemed to have disappeared.
Several years later they found remains in Griffith Park. It seems they were looking for him after finding a bloody scene at his apartment. Turned out to be he was murdered by someone he picked up in a West Hollywood bar.
Sad…he was a gentle nice man.
That said, the life of many gays is just a very thin line from violence…many times not instigated by them.
