Lesbians Have Said To Us
As a lesbian you may:
Have questions about whether the assault happened because you are a lesbian
Be worried about how other lesbians will react
Be concerned or fearful about disclosing your sexual orientation
Feel that if the rape was by another woman, lesbian or not, you won't be believed or treated seriously.
Remember same-sex rape is as traumatic as heterosexual rape. Help is available. You can request and get support from a lesbian counsellor to discuss these issues.
