Fair enough.

There was a claim made in the video and repeated that those with SSA that also have some minimal OSA up to mostly OSA relationships are the groups that are at greatest risk for violence and discrimination.  This addresses the intimate partner violence for bisexuals, though unless I missed it, it doesn't specify if there is a difference in violence when the relationship is OS or SS.

This deals with perpetrators of intimate partner violence for women, including sexual minorities...but for some reason not for men.

Quote

A number of studies also inquired into the gender of the perpetrators of IPV and IPSA. These individuals,
the intimate partners of sexual minority women, were not all women; some were men (Bernhard, 2000; McLaughlin et al, 2001; Morris et al, 2003; Carvalho et al, 2011; Messinger, 2011; Walters et al, 2013). The CDC found that 89.5% of bisexual women reported only male perpetrators of intimate partner physical violence, rape, and/or stalking, and 67.4% of lesbian women reported only female perpetrators. Presumably, therefore, nearly a third of lesbian women who have had these experiences have had one or more male perpetrators (Walters et al, 2013). McLaughlin et al (2001) found that, in a sample of lesbian and bisexual women, 34% reported experiencing abuse in a same-sex relationship and 25% reported experiencing abuse in an opposite- sex relationship. Men and women both contribute to the prevalence of intimate partner violence among sexual minority women.

This covers both:

Quote

Among women who experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking in the context of an intimate relationship, the majority of bisexual and heterosexual women (89.5% and 98.7%, respectively) reported only male perpetrators (data not shown). More than two-thirds of lesbian women (67.4%) identi ed only female perpetrators. Statistical testing to compare sex of perpetrator across all sexual orientations was not conducted.

Sex of Perpetrator of Violence among Male Victims
Among men who experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner, approximately 90.7% of gay men reported only male perpetrators, 78.5% of bisexual men identi ed only females as their perpetrators, and 99.5% of heterosexual men reported only female perpetrators (data not shown). Statistical testing to compare sex of perpetrator across all sexual orientations was not conducted.

Since the conversation has turned to suicide among LGBTs, I decided to see if I could find a range of studies that might yield at least directions to study to see if there are truly aspects to unique to Mormonism that in readers suicide rates as is claimed by some.

So looking for triggers found where Mormonism is not likely to be relevant, first is from China:

Quote

The reasons for suicidal ideation in the 398 respondents who had considered are presented in Table 1. The most frequently answered reason was breakup of the romantic relationship with gay partners, followed by self-objection to homosexuality, failure to find appropriate gay partner(s), pressure from being forced to get married to a woman, difficulties in getting used to a marriage life, sudden emotional hurts from unexpected events, illegal status of gay marriage in China, and disclosure of sexual orientation.

More report...from Australia:
