I'll begin by saying that we know some statistics state that domestic abuse has even higher rates in cases of 2SLGBTQ families for reasons of homophobia, heterosexism and barriers to accessing services. Part of what coercive control does is it removes a lot of those binaries, which very often fall into other ways that we look at domestic abuse, and recognize that it's all about the experience of the individual. I therefore think it actually opens it up so equity-seeking groups, including 2SLGBTQ individuals, are more likely to access supports and services.
