This Music Video Reveals Hard Truths About Gay Couples & Domestic Violence
Lenny Gerard's visuals for "Feel Me Now" shines light on queer victims of domestic violence.
Singer-songwriter Lenny Gerard's “Feel Me Now” music video showcases the dark realities victims and survivors of domestic abuse have faced.
A music video based on personal experiences, Lenny, a young gay man, is subjected to emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his partner.
With the video, Lenny wants to encourage victims in violent relationships to be heard and seek help, especially when you consider the fact that the lifetime prevalence of gay and bisexual women and men to experience violence from their intimate partners is greater than that of straight women and men, according to a 2010 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
