Simply not gay enough

-

AUSTRIA has rejected the asylum applicatio­n of an Afghan claiming to be gay as he did not “walk or dress like a homosexual”.

An official found no grounds for fear of persecutio­n based on the sexual orientatio­n of the 18-year-old.

“The way you walk, act or dress does not show even in the slightest that you could be homosexual,” the official said.

The official also found “potential for aggression”, which “wouldn’t be expected from a homosexual”, as the man fought in charity accommodat­ion that housed him.
