LGBTQ people in North Carolina can no longer be prevented from getting domestic violence protective orders, the N.C. Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.

North Carolina had been the only state in the country to withhold emergency protections from people seeking protection from abuse by a same-sex partner, The News & Observer reported in 2019. That kind of protection is offered to couples of the opposite sex, and to married and divorced same-sex couples, but not for same-sex couples who are dating or who used to date.

But that ban is unconstitutional, the appeals court ruled in a 2-1 opinion Thursday.

The opinion written by Judge Linda McGee, a Democrat and the chief judge of the Court of Appeals, said LGBTQ people have the same right to liberty that other Americans have. That includes the right to make choices about their romantic partners, she said — and the right to be protected if that relationship becomes dangerous.

But the real issue is that sodomites are much more prone to abuse each other.

Exactly.It's well established...but never mentioned...that when perverts aren't busy degrading themselves (and each other) they're busy beating the ever loving s**t out of each other.

Never a dull moment in a pervert household.

So the only people who HAD been excluded were people of same sex who were merely dating or had daed at one time.

Why doesn’t the gay community focus more on reducing physical violence in same sex male-male or female-female couples?

They are not really a "community", just mentally ill people being politically exploited. They are in effect prohibited from fixing themselves, though a few may manage it as individuals.

The assaults in queer households are often much more deadly too.

Assault is assault, whether the victim is queer, straight or asexual, female, male or undecided.

...the gay community...

HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.
