| Publisher Description: This empowering book chronicles the author's personal experience of being on the receiving - and later, the giving - end of domestic violence/abuse in a same gender loving relationship. "I was led to share this chapter of my life because I have encountered too many individuals whose stories sound like mine," says Renair. "I tell this story for those same-gender loving individuals who have called the cops only to be ridiculed or told that they should be able to fight back in "this" type of situation. We deserve the same protections, laws, understanding and compassion."It seems the universe agrees. Recently, the United States Senate passed a re-authorized Violence Against Women Act, which for the first time in the legislation's history extends protection to members of the LGBT community. The timing of Domestically Cursed could not be more perfect. |
