Toxic relationships know no boundaries - and narcissistic abusers come in every color, shape and size - not to mention every race, culture, creed, religion, weight, sexual orientation and zipcode.
But one population is being nearly ignored by so many in society that it's shocking - and I'm talking about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people who are in toxic relationships with abusive narcissists - and apparently, this happens more often than we know.
I've learned a lot so far, and I'm planning to learn more - so today, I'm announcing a new campaign for QueenBeeing.com - an LGBT Outreach and Awareness program.
Where this started, who I'm working with and how it all came to be:
A member of SPAN, Sue B., reached out to me and asked if I'd be interested in covering toxic narcissistic abuse in gay and lesbian relationships - and when she offered to help, I jumped at the opportunity to work with her on this.
So many people aren't even aware that domestic violence and toxic abuse - both physical and emotional/mental - exist in the LGBT community. Sue even told me that lesbian women are turned away from domestic violence shelters because, and I quote, "Women never hurt women."
It's time to tear the masks off our eyes, people. It is absolutely unacceptable that so many people in the LGBT community are being ignored and underserved when they are in narcissistic abuse situations and relationships that are destroying them, bit by bit.
Every human on the planet, regardless of race, culture, creed, sex, income, weight or zip code deserves to come home to a place where they are treated with respect - and where they're not subjected to constant mental and emotional torture.
In this video, I'll share Sue's thoughts with you on how being in a lesbian relationship is different than a straight relationship and what that looks like. Plus , I'll share her thoughts on career lesbians who "you could spot "based on their ambitions," and lesbians like Sue, who she says, wanted kids - and due to her own narcissistic abuse survivor issues - married men. We'll also touch on lesbians who Sue says probably never wanted kids because it was never presented as an option or it would interfere with their lesbian identity.
"I have met a lot of women who are similar who could not come out till they felt safe," Sue says. "Being a lesbian or queer means you always have a vulnerability. And in some cases a secret because you are not the 'norm' but also because you never know when someone is going to misquote the Bible to you while they discriminate against you."
