Dykebreaking: The Homophobic Rape of Lesbian Woman and the Next Frontier of Hate Crime Laws

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article will explain the motivations behind homophobic rape by examining it as both a sex offense and a hate crime, before arguing that its unique status at the intersection of both categories of offenses places its victims in a particularly vulnerable position and situates those who offend in this way in a more serious category of offender than other sex offenders.
