The report, conducted by gay civil rights groups in China, shows 9.6 percent of Chinese couples in heterosexual relationships suffer from domestic abuse, compared to 16 percent of same-sex couples who are beating on each other. Regina Griggs with PFOX says the study is revealing.

“It reinforces the fact that same-sex relationships do not work and that you cannot substitute the love and interaction that you need from same-sex parents and peers by getting involved in a same-sex relationship.”

Linda Harvey with Mission America says the report mirrors research conducted here in the U.S about the instability of homosexual relationships.

“I think these are folks with issues that are unresolved and part of that is going to come out in anger and it’s going to be directed at the people closest to you.”

Matt Barber with Concerned Women for America points out the volatility among homosexuals is linked to a number of other high risk behaviors.

“Oftentimes, especially in the male community, drugs and alcohol play a factor because there are high rates of depression among homosexual men and women.”

But Barber says gays and lesbians can be freed from the lifestyle, and from potential violence that may occur.
