– Domestic violence has no boundaries or barriers. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, gender, or sexual orientation; but much of the domestic violence awareness movement focuses on solely heterosexual relationships. Members of the LGBTQ community say they do not feel seen or heard.
“How it all happened, and it formed, was me allowing it to happen, me not recognizing the signs. I felt like a bunch of people couldn’t intervene between that, because they seen it as, and respected it as two different males, you don’t come in between two guys. Instead of seeing it as an actual relationship. I felt really helpless during the time, it was because I didn’t know I didn’t have any resources,” explained Gutierrez.
“I help people fleeing domestic violence,” said Angelic Setchell, who is the anti-violence program specialist at the Montrose Center.
