    If you come from a country where homosexuals have to fear for their life, taking and publishing pictures like that puts you in mortal danger if your asylum claim is denied.
    I’d say after providing these photos, it almost doesn’t matter whether you’re really gay.

      That’s what I was thinking. If it’s dangerous to send back someone who is gay, then it is dangerous to send back someone who is very publicly perceived to be gay. In some ways, the publicity from this case has made his case stronger.

      So all it takes to get asylum in the country is to take a picture with a rainbow top on yeah?
