sp1814,
I'm curious as to what this "burden of proof" to which you refer actually consists of? How else, apart from stating so, does an individual go about proving that s/he is indeed irrefutably, a homosexual?
And just for the wider debate here, I see that joeluke has taken a great amount of flak because of his outspoken, and candid, views. However, the point has to surely be put forward that we could feasibly end up giving asylum to perhaps many thousands of people falsely claiming refuge on the grounds that their alleged sexuality puts them in mortal danger in their own country.
We do not live in a massive country, therefore, could not only available space here, but also our economy, infrastructure etc cope with such possibly massive influxes? Should we allow ourselves to become the last chance saloon for every Tom, Dick and Harry seeking asylum when they have travelled deliberately to our country, having bypassed many others en route where they might theoretically have been able to make their case there? Or is our welfare system the real attraction?
