Answer: A - Intimate partner violence is equally as common in lesbian relationships as in heterosexual relationships.
Intimate partner violence is a significant issue that affects many individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. Studies have indicated that intimate partner violence occurs in lesbian relationships at rates similar to or higher than those reported in heterosexual relationships. However, it is important to note that underreporting of abuse in lesbian relationships may occur due to stigma, fear of discrimination, and lack of resources specifically tailored to support individuals in same-sex relationships.
