Holland promises paradise to all gays of Russia

[wa3zrm]

Dutch authorities have officially declared that their country was ready to accept all Russian gays and lesbians who are allegedly suffering at home. All of them were promised political refugees the status. However, many observers believe that Amsterdam needs to slow down with such initiatives as they will not do the country any good.
Dutch foreign minister Frans Timmermans said that given the plight of gays and lesbians in Russia, the Dutch government was ready to grant them political asylum. On Tuesday Frans Timmermans sent a letter to the parliament where he again condemned the Russian law banning the propaganda of homosexuality among minors.
"The anti-homosexuality propaganda law has a stigmatizing and discriminatory effect and contributes to a climate of homophobia," Reuters quoted the Minister. He added that inhumane treatment or violation of the fundamental rights of Russian lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people could be grounds for asylum.

There was a big ruling this week where the ECHR said that the EU can accept refugees who are escaping persecution in their home country for being gay, mainly directed at a number of african nations, they were given to go ahead to classify them as political asylum seekers and could accept them. It means it applies to anyone from any country.

Bring them over to Seattle. Their paradise is not in Holland, it's on Capitol Hill.

What if you're not gay, but claim to be. Could you still get political asylum? (and of course benefits)


Do you see where this is headed? Everyone from a poor country will soon be turning up in Europe saying, "I am gay and persecuted in my village. I am a political refugee. Give me money."

They may want to consult Sweden or Norway to see how this kind of system has been working for them.

They need to be able to prove they are actually being persicuted or are at risk of it to qualify, loads try and just turn up but they get the boot, also there is quite an easy way to find out if they are lying or not.

Well for starters.....anyone who "enjoys" the thorough body cavity "search" is pretty much a shoe in.....the rest is just paper work and an exam on EU law and office décor
