Tesa, 
I am so sorry for what you have experienced,  it sounds like it impacts your view of the world quite a bit.  I agree that violence against women is far too prevalent in our society.  I don't agree that LGBTQ people are too blame, or should be targeted because of the actions of the percentage of men who are immature, entitled, lack self control or are perverts.  This petition is silly, regressive nonsense.  If these people want to help at risk individuals they should fight domestic violence and increase safety in bars, clubs and universities.  Go after people who are actually hurting others, not fuss about a cake.
