    Thank you for following Neo’s journey from self-doubt to safety in ‘Recognisable’. Recognising experiences as abuse is the 1st step to helping & by reading this story about one LGBT+ survivor experience, you took that first step.

    We all have the right to live free from violence & abuse. Support the rights of LGBT+ survivors of domestic abuse by learning, never minimizing LGBT+ abuse experiences & always encouraging folks to seek help when needed

    Recognise this: experiences of domestic abuse can happen for + folks the same way they happen for anyone else but sexual identity & gender orientation may also be exploited to gain power & control. Both are true.

    Woah - did you notice that nowhere in this definition does it states that you need to be cisgender or heterosexual to experience intimate partner abuse?

    Insecure immigration status can add to the already huge stress of experiencing abuse. People with spousal visas have protections under UK law & no one should ever use threats to make you stay with them.

    If LGBT+ survivor experiences go unrecognised then that is ultimately the end of the story. Let's end the violence of invisibility felt by many LGBT+ survivors by learning together. ❤️ & share this post to support#LGBTBeyondRecognition
