Stretching Asylum

Give me your tired, your poor, your sexually promiscuous . . .

A court in the US has ruled that a gay Mexican with Aids is eligible for asylum because of the danger of persecution in his home country.

It's only dictum, but we would think the following is legal precedent for the validity of the much-maligned gaydar:

"Despite his attempts to conceal his sexuality, others could perceive it and Boer-Sedano was ostracised by his family, friends, and co-workers on that basis," the judges wrote in their judgement.

Eric Scheske thinks he can spot a homosexual from 200 yards. Maybe the court could cite this ability in its next piece of legislation.
