Notes:	This topic paper provides an overview of domestic violence in gay and lesbian relationships. It discusses the barriers to seeking help, homophobia and misconceptions, and their implications for service provision. Some of the major theoretical approaches to domestic violence and their appropriateness for understanding violence in gay and lesbian relationships are examined. It suggests that, to respond appropriately to gay and lesbian domestic violence, the role of heterosexism and homophobia as barriers to seeking help need to be addressed. The low availability, suitability or accessibility of support services, accommodation, health services and the legal system including police and the courts, are also of major concern.
