“The victimization of gays and lesbians based upon their sexual orientation includes harassment, vandalism, robbery, assault, rape and murder. The location of these crimes is not restricted to dark streets leading from gay establishments. Violence against gays and lesbians occurs everywhere: in schools, the workplace, public places and in the home. Those who commit these acts come from all social/economic backgrounds and represent different age groups (National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Safety and Fitness Exchange, Lance Bradley and Kevin Berrill, 1986.)

treating Obstetrician/Gynecologist .Featuring
Associate Director of Gynecologic Cancer Surgery at
Stanford University, Dr. Kate O'Hanlan's research.
Accepted for publication in Current Problems in
Obstetrics and Gynecology.
On this site you will find a very comprehensive study of lesbian health issues.  A good area to check is children in lesbian households.  Seems a lesbian household is a very healthy place to be.

http://www.cyberpsych.org/homophobia/
analysis of homophobia:  The forum examines with
psychoanalytic tools, the roots of homophobia in the
human mind and the reason for homophobia's seeming
normalcy. Psychoanalysis examines what a person was
taught by parents, friends and community, and the way
each person absorbs and uses those lessons.
The forum was co-sponsored by the American
Psychoanalytic Foundation and by three committees of
the American Psychoanalytic Association (the Committee
on Issues of Homosexuality, the Committee on Social
Issues, and the Committee on Public Information).
