Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) individuals likely experience more intimate partner violence (IPV) than their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts. Though the research on IPV among LGBTQ+ individuals is lacking in quantity, available evidence suggests LGBTQ+ individuals have unique risk factors for IPV victimization and perpetration, express identity-specific reasons for underreporting IPV, and experience types of IPV specific to their sexual orientation and/or gender identities. Bisexual and transgender individuals appear to be at significantly higher risk of IPV victimization compared to their peers. A search of the Family Court Review archives suggests that IPV affecting bisexual parents has never been directly addressed in the publication, nor has IPV affecting transgender or gender-nonconforming parents, and the last article on the topic of IPV in gay and lesbian relationships (Bunker Rohrbaugh, 2006) was published more than 15 years ago when marriage and adoption rights were unavailable to most LGBTQ+ individuals. The current article provides an updated and comprehensive discussion of IPV within the broader LGBTQ+ community, reviews the limitations of the extant literature and the need for more research, and demonstrates that LGBTQ+ IPV is a complex issue with which all family court practitioners should be familiar.

LGBTQ+ 群体中的亲密伴侣暴力：对家庭法庭专业人员的影响

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿和其他性少数群体 (LGBTQ+) 个体可能比顺性别者、异性恋者遭受更多亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV)。尽管针对 LGBTQ+ 个体中 IPV 的研究数量不足，但现有证据表明 LGBTQ+ 个体具有 IPV 受害和实施的独特风险因素、表达了漏报 IPV 的特定身份原因以及特定于其性取向和/或性取向的 IPV 经历类型。性别认同。与同龄人相比，双性恋和跨性别者受 IPV 侵害的风险似乎明显更高。对家庭法院审查档案的搜索表明，该出版物从未直接提及影响双性恋父母的 IPV，也没有直接讨论 IPV 影响跨性别或性别不合格的父母，以及关于同性恋关系中的 IPV 主题的最后一篇文章（Bunker） Rohrbaugh，2006 年）发表于 15 年多前，当时大多数 LGBTQ+ 个人都无法获得婚姻和收养权。本文对更广泛的 LGBTQ+ 群体中的 IPV 进行了更新和全面的讨论，回顾了现有文献的局限性以及进行更多研究的必要性，并表明 LGBTQ+ IPV 是一个所有家庭法院从业人员都应该熟悉的复杂问题。
