Notes:	Coming Forward reports the responses of 390 gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual and transgender (GLBT) Victorians to an online survey about their experiences of heterosexist violence and same sex partner abuse. It reports on sexual and physical abuse as well as 'everyday vilification and harassment that plague GLBT people's lives. The survey comprised both quantitative and qualitative questions; however, this report focuses largely on statistical results. The report makes a number of findings regarding the way the GLBT community are perceived and felt to be perceived by wider society, as well as the incidence of violence and abuse. The report recommends legislative and social reforms to challenge heterosexism and provide full legal and social recognition of GLBT people. It also recommends provision of GLBT-sensitive mainstream service delivery. The report suggested a collaborative approach with Victorian Police, government and GLBT organisations. The need for improved and additional information is highlighted in report.'
