I didn’t forget that you date men and you’re right, there is the additional hate crime element to deal with as an LGBTQ person/couple. Still. Your rebuttal is out of context.

Dating a fellow man doesn’t negate the fact that when it comes to Intimate Partner Violence, you are more likely to be physically able and socialized to defend yourself than a woman dating a man, less likely to be injured or killed because your body is comparable, less likely than even heterosexual men to experience IPV during your lifetime, and far far less likely to than any woman, straight or queer.

Hate crimes are not committed by those you live with or have placed your trust in. It’s a separate issue to IPV, though also grievously horrible.

The next statement I made that you responded to took a wild left turn completely out of context to what was meant and I’m pretty sure you know that and were just reading into it. So I’m not going to respond beyond that.

As to your last statement….that would be a critique, not a judgement but you keep falling back on the word judgement, even when it’s not necessary. Makes me think you ARE judging my character despite your protestations otherwise. I can’t be sure, of course, but it has that tenor to it. Like I said though, it makes zero difference to me if you think I’m racist or not. If it does to you then that’s on you.
