This has links to the new Violence Against Women Act. No mention of abused men, and little mention of GLBT victims.

Interesting article:

# The study suggests physicians should have increased awareness about sexual abuse in boys as they are abused almost as often as girls.

# Physicians should be aware that men who were sexually abused as children can be at a greater risk for drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, and troubled relationships, just like their female counterparts.

It's too bad this isn't gender-inclusive.

This is from the GMDVP.

After seeing graphic home footage of an alcoholic husband and a wife who
violently abuses him, Dr. Phil steps in. Steve and Sheila are high

in their home show Steve passed out on the floor on the verge of death,
while Sheila slaps, punches, kicks and stomps on him — in front of their
two little girls. Can they heal their family?
