London – Broken Rainbow, the UK’s sole LGBT domestic violence telephone helpline, is surprised and disappointed that lesbians, gays and transgender people are not included in the Conservative plans to tackle domestic violence.

Last week, Tory leader David Cameron promised to spend an extra £2.6m to help women experiencing rape, domestic violence, forced marriages and trafficking.

But not included were the estimated 1 in 4 LGBT people who experience domestic violence in the UK.
