With some foreign nationals trying to gain entrance into this country by claiming they are at risk of persecution in their own country for being lesbian, gay, transsexual, or transgender (LGBT), how can it be proven that they are indeed what they say they are?

/// Meanwhile immigration judges need to try to ask questions that can tease out whether someone really is gay or whether they are simply stating they are in order to make a bogus asylum claim. Most claimants are expected to provide some sort of evidence of a gay relationship or persecution. Although Border and Immigration Agency staff have specific guidelines to deal with LGBT asylum seekers, there is no equivalent advice for tribunal judges. ///

I must admit, I am rather stumped by this, too..........

Could much of Wilde's oeuvre be considered of interest to Gays?

// What question should be asked? //

Do you like musicals?

Why do you believe anyone would think you are lesbian ?

[DTCwordfan]

Feck me, which magic wand-of-a-civil-servant came up with this one?

[DTCwordfan]

Fred - wouldn't you want to be lesbian in your next life?

[FredPuli43]

Yes DTC. It is such a faff being a heterosexual bloke. Never fancied being a gay one; I'd never pass the physical. Being a lesbian seems so much less trouble. Much the same physical effort as for a straight woman but not in one or two things which straight women do which lesbians can't
