UK Welcome Gays For Asylum

Gay refugees have a right to asylum in Britain, a high court has ruled. The decision, which cites "rampant homophobic teaching" in parts of Africa and "the ultra-conservative interpretation of Islamic law" in Iran, will stop those fearing imprisonment, torture or execution from being shipped back to their home countries. "This gives me hope," a Ugandan asylum seekers tells the Guardian. "I feared for my life in Uganda."

Anti-immigration groups worry the move will flood the country with asylum seekers. "Millions of people around the world" could apply, says a rep from Migrationwatch. But the government reps defended the plan, noting that there are strict conditions and that it is simply "not acceptable" to ask people to hide their sexuality to avoid persecution.

As Britain has become more Socialist in the last several decades, it has become more pro-gay. It s not legal for adults men to recruit gay sex with teenage boys as young as 16. See Chick's SIN CITY.
