Stop Abuse for Everyone (SAFE) is a nationwide organization. Their mission is to provide services, publications, and training to serve those who may fall between the cracks of domestic violence services. These groups include straight men, gays and lesbians, teens, the elderly, and immigrants. They also publish lists of local resources for gay and lesbian victims. Here is a link to their site: www.safe4all.org/.

The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men serves male victims of domestic violence, regardless of sexuality. Their website is geared toward heterosexual men; however, their helpline can help gay, bisexual, and transgendered men. http://www.batteredmenshelpline.org/index.html, 1-888-7HELPLINE

Many local domestic violence organizations provide services to everyone, regardless of the gender of the victim and abuser. For a listing of domestic violence organizations in [STATE], see, [INSERT STATE AND LOCAL PROGRAMS].
