I think it's a mix of both. It's a misconception that gay men will behave the same way some straight men behave towards women, but while there may be violent gay men in gay relationships, I would hazard a guess that it's not the majority. It could also be a misconception that men can't be raped, or that rape is different when it happens to men (there's a fantastic video on YouTube about the double standards of rape in films if men are the victims https://youtu.be/uc6QxD2_yQw).
