Rape, Incest, and Abuse are not exclusive to the GLBT community but I do believe it can be more serious issue. Being already marginalized by society and struggling with gender identity tend to make many of us easy targets in these crimes. If we consider the fears already inherent due to our nature combined stigmas many of us do not seek help or do so to late.
No one deserves to be a victim! If you are struggling with being a victim of these please seek help. Make your voice heard for you and others who could be hurt. Let's stop the pain and begin healing.
The Rape Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) offers a wide variety of information from hotlines, locating rape and counseling centers, and education.
