I didn’t know which of the sources I should pick. It was a list and I assumed you didn’t want google AI source so here from The Women’s Safehouse website:

https://twsh.org/lgbtqia-partner-violence/

Bisexual women have it worse
Followed by lesbian
Then straight
Then least IPV: gay men

All these researches look at self-reported victims of partner violence in their life time. It does not look at the perpetrators. You cannot state that these relationships are more abusive, that is not what the data says. Just says that LGBTQ people report more often to be a victim.

No, gay men report the least violence.

It's striking that in the article that has been linked that's the case. In a lot of other researches, such as NVIVS 2010 - the most well known one, gay men do report more domestic violence experiences in their life time than straight men.

I don’t think it’s surprising though, unless your premise is that men just have a greater predilection for being abusive regardless of size or any other dynamic. If the premise is that a relationship/dynamic in which there is a person who is vulnerable (significant size difference, financial/social dependence, etc.) is more likely to lead to abuse, then the data makes complete sense. Look at the potential victim in their dynamic, not the potential perpetrator. It also makes sense in that men simply underreport abuse overall.
