Dpe the myth that IPV is exclively an issue heterosexual relatnships, many studi have revealed the existence of IPV among lbian and gay upl, and s cince is parable to (Turell, 2000) or higher than that among heterosexual upl (Msger, 2011; Kelley et al., 2012). While siari between heterosexual and lbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) IPV were found, unique featur and dynamics were prent LGB IPV. Such featur are maly related to intifitn and treatment of SSIPV the muny and to the need of takg to nsiratn the role of sexual mory strsors. Our fdgs show there is a lack of studi that addrs LGB dividuals volved IPV; this is mostly due to the silence that has historilly existed around vlence the LGB muny, a silence built on fears and myths that have obstcted a public discsn on the phenomenon. We intified the ma them discsed the published studi that we have reviewed here. The reviews lead to the ncln that is sential to create a place where this subject n be eely discsed and approached, both by LGB and heterosexual people.
