. . . 83 percent of all violence committed against “gays” is carried out by other “gays” in domestic situations. This does not even count “gay-on-gay” violence committed outside the home.

So what do you suppose the actual hetero-on-gay violence is? Especially if you take out clear cases of self defense?

This sounds awfully sexist and horrible to say,... okay, I'll say it anyway - because it's true... but in a man/woman marriage the man is most likely to be dominant and the woman naturally more submissive, defusing conflicts due to a power veto.

In a man/man or woman/woman "arrangement," the odds are virtually equal, and conflicts are more likely to be prolonged and stalemated due to like forces unwilling to budge. This can, and usually does, escalate into extremely violent resolutions.

It's no surprise that these equally matched constructs fail at a much higher rate than natural man/woman unions.
