    Do you think gay people have to have sex to be discriminated against?

      I think that gay people have to have had a relationship, either sexual or emotional to legitimately claim asylum for their sexuality.

        That’s not what I asked. Do you think gay people have to have sex to be discriminated against?

        Follow up question, do you think it’s possible for Asexual people to be discriminated against based on sexuality?

        Second follow up question: Have you considered the possibility that people who have gay sex in countries where it is illegal are unlikely to keep evidence around that could be used against them, and that outing a partner who’s still in such a country could place that partner in mortal danger? Have you considered the possibility that the discrimination they face is the very reason that someone might avoid being in a relationship?

            I know plently of straight people who haven’t been in a proper long term relationship for 15 years.

            Dating fucking sucks these days.

            What’s that got to do with being gay?
