Police focus on same-sex domestic violence in the UK [uk.gay.com]
In Ohio, our laws are preventing gays and lesbians from receiving help if they are abused in their relationships. In England, however:
The Domestic Violence Crime and Victims Act 2004 is the first time that lesbian and gay couples have been specifically included in legislation intended to curb violence in the home.It allows same-sex couples to obtain restraining orders for the first time, and is aimed at ensuring lesbian and gay victims of abuse have access to the same protection as married couples.
Regardless of whether or not you approve of the "gay lifestyle", shouldn't we focus on the results? The result is going to be more violence in the US, and less in the UK.
