Gay Man From Mexico Wins U.S. Asylum
Newsday ^ | 1/30/07 | n/a

LOS ANGELES -- An immigration judge who previously denied a gay man's asylum bid on the grounds that he could conceal his sexual orientation if he returned to his native Mexico reversed the decision Tuesday.

In allowing Jorge Sota Vega to remain in the United States, Judge John D. Taylor said that gays should not be required to dress or act a certain way to avoid persecution and that Vega's lawyers proved he would be at risk if he were deported to Mexico.

I thought the USA was not safe for gays since we are all a bunch of knuckle dragging homophobic Neanderthals.

Gringos, so easy a gay man can do em.

This is great. Now all you have to do to get citizenship is be a queer!

The judge needs to be removed from the bench and the case appealed to the USSC.

FWIW: Mexico is one of two countries where a gay guy has tried to pick me up. I was walking in a park in Monterrey a few years back, and a guy walked up to me and asked if I "accepted bad things." I looked at him and said "como?" He then asked me if I liked him and if I wanted to join him on the other side of the park. I politely said no, and proceeded to the nearest strip club...

I can see it now. All illegals are going to ask for asylum since they are all "gay". They just have normal spouses and kids but hell it worked for one

I said the judge needs to be removed, I didn't say it was easy or likely. Just my opinion of what should happen.

uh-huh. Now that transgenders have announced their presence with authority and aiding and promoting by the Democrats and the MSM, gotta let gay be gay and transsexuals and transgenders be what they will.

In the early 90s, the US was overloaded with "gay" amnesty seekers. It's how the special "SANCTUARIES" were first begun, and now being used for illegal immigrants.
