Today’s good news is that the UK’s supreme court has firmly told the Home Office that if someone comes asking for asylum because they have been persecuted in their home country for being gay (or lesbian, bi, trans, etc.), telling them to go home and be discreet about their activities isn’t very helpful. Whether this will actually make any difference, at least until a whole bunch of expensive cases have been brought to court and won, and someone in government decides to kick ass to save money, remains to be seen, but it is a step in the right direction.
