* A study in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence examined conflict and violence in lesbian relationships. The researchers found that 90 percent of the lesbians surveyed had been recipients of one or more acts of verbal aggression from their intimate partners during the year prior to this study, with 31 percent reporting one or more incidents of physical abuse. <ref>Lettie L. Lockhart et al., "Letting out the Secret:Violence in Lesbian Relationships," pp. 469-492 Journal of Interpersonal Violence 9 (1994)</ref>
* A 1985 study of 1109 lesbians by Gwat-Yong Lie and Sabrina Gentlewarrier reported that slightly more than half of the respondents indicated that they had been abused by a female partner.<ref>Gwat-Yong Lie & S. Gentlewarrier. ''Intimate Violence in Lesbian Relationships: Discussion of Survey Findings and Practice Implications'', p. 46 (1991) 15 Journal of Social Service Research The Haworth Press</ref>
* Coleman, in a 1990 study of 90 lesbians reported that 46.6% had experienced repeated acts of violence.<ref>Coleman, V. ''The Relationship Between Personality and the Perpetration of Violence'', Internet, Abstracted from Violence and Victims, Vol. 9, No. 2, 1994</ref>

* In their book, ''Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them: Battered Gay Men and Domestic Violence'' (1991), Island and Letellier postulate that "the incidence of domestic violence among gay men is nearly double that in the heterosexual population."<ref>D. Island and P. Letellier, ''Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them: Battered Gay Men and Domestic Violence'', (New York: Haworth Press, 1991)</ref>
* The Journal of Social Service Research reported in 1991 that survey of 1,099 lesbians showed that slightly more than 50 percent of the lesbians reported that they had been abused by a female lover/partner, "the most frequently indicated forms of abuse were verbal/emotional/psychological abuse and combined physical-psychological abuse." <ref>Gwat Yong Lie and Sabrina Gentlewarrier, ''Intimate Violence in Lesbian Relationships: Discussion of Survey Findings and Practice Implications'', p. 46, Journal of Social Service Research 15 (1991)</ref>
* A study of lesbian couples reported (2000) in the Handbook of Family Development and Intervention "indicates that 54 percent had experienced 10 or more abusive incidents, 74 percent had experienced six or more incidents, 60 percent reported a pattern to the abuse, and 71 percent said it grew worse over time."<ref>William C. Nichols, et al, editors, ''Handbook of Family Development and Intervention'', p. 393 (New York:John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 2000)</ref>
* A [[study that compared domestic violence between lesbian couples and married women]] is even more pronounced in respect to the above statistics that suggest that homosexual couples are more violent than heterosexual couples.
