英国允许同性恋表达自己性取向
2010-07-14来源:和谐英语
The Home Office has been refusing asylum claims by gay men on the grounds they could hide their sexuality - and therefore avoid persecution at home - by behaving discreetly.
一直以来,英国移民局拒绝同性恋者所提出的庇护请求,因为同性恋者可以通过自己谨慎的言行来隐藏他们他们的性取向,以此来避免在家中遭受迫害。
But, in test cases brought by men from Cameroon and Iran, three Supreme Court judges unanimously ruled the policy was a breach of the UN Convention on Refugees.
但是,在来自喀麦隆和伊朗男子的判例案件中,三位高级法院法官一致通过的政策却违反了联合国难民公约。
It sets the precedent that no gay man should be returned to a country which treats homosexuality harshly on the expectation they will 'act straight'.
这产生了一个先例,同性恋者不应被送回到一个苛刻地对待他们,并希望他们能够“改邪归正”的国家。
