This got brought up today by Focus (the German news magazine).....on Austria and their asylum program. They run a similar style program as the Germans.....in that you state your reason for asylum and they evaluate that 'reason'.
So the Austrians have various folks who come up and state their reason as being 'gay'. Back in their homeland, they would not be accepted for gay activity.
The Austrian office for asylum said fine.....we will evaluate you.
So this 18-year old Afghan came up. The Austrians looked over the guy and evaluated him. They say his clothing style and behavior...wasn't 'gay enough' (suggesting he was fake-gay).
Another guy from Iraq (27-year old)....applied, and he was told that he was more or less....acting gay, but wasn't really gay.
The authorities in this approval situation will even review your cellphone and pictures.....looking for some indication, like gay videos....to prove your status as a real 'gay'.
Some folks have been critical of the way that the authorities operate.....suggesting the evaluation is not correct or fair. But you have to analyze this whole application process and how you 'prove' you are gay. Just saying 'it'? I can't really blame the Austrians....some folks might be willing to go and do some fake-gay act. Course, if you get accepted for a visa and two years later end with a 'wife'....how do you explain the gay situation if the authorities ask? That you just got over gayness?
