M5 Discussion: LGBTQ+ IPV

Please use this as your main source: Gosselin, D. K. (2019). Family and intimate partner violence: Heavy hands (6th ed.). Pearson This assignment meets CLO 1 and 2; MLO 1 The intervention and treatment of victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence occurs within the context of heteronormativity, heterosexism, and homo/bi/transphobia, resulting in the marginalization of LGBTQ+ individuals, inequities in protections and law enforcement, and barriers to supportive and therapeutic resource access. In this discussion, I would like you to: Describe two ways that barriers to accessing support services can be overcome for LGBTQ+ victims. Who are the most important key players, in your opinion, in combating these inequities for LGBTQ+ families? How can they do more? In what ways might LGBTQ+ victims of color be further disadvantage? What about disabled LGBTQ+ victims? How can economics be a factor? In your response post, share insights from your text and one outside scholarly source to support or counter two classmates' responses to at least one of the questions above. Discussion Participation Tips Initial Post: Your initial post should be a logical and thoughtful response to questions posted and typically should be at least 250 words.
