Great now they will all be playing "the gay card".
Like I said before I wish Yahoo would verify the authenticity of the SS# of the Yahoo employee who is deleting all the immigration questions.

The appeals court can only overturn it on a point of law. I expect what happened is the guy said gays are persecuted and put in some evidence. Instead of putting on any evidence at all saying any persecution of gays isn't enough worse in Mexico that it should rise to asylum, the govt laughed at it. They should have introduced evidence. I suspect this can only happen once. And, of course, only in my state of California.

What happens when they come here and say they are seeking asylum because they are persecuted for having a dog for a spouse? We put pressure on people of this country to meet some basic standards also and although we may not treat gays like that we would put pressure on a child molester. I don't think we should take in everyone who says they disagree with the culture in their country or that they are treated bad because the don't conform to morals of their country. We don't need them contaminating our country.

yes it is. There are other gay men in Mexico, though I never heard of one being persecuted because of their sexual orientation. So, in conclusion, he should get the same treatment as other Mexican citizens, no more no less. (as in get in line and apply for residence)

A new angle for the illegal alien criminal - call themselves gay. This is so wrong. He should stay in Mexico just like the rest of them. He doesn't have a right to be here.

If Yahoo! "deleted" you over this, it is their choice, not that I support it. However, if you are in the U.S. you are free as the wind to say whatever crosses your mind, subject to time, place, manner restrictions.....

Wow...I can't believe that. I guess his lawyer must have come up with a great arguement to keep him here, either that the judge was very liberal. I have a friend a from Honduras who tried to get asylum because her parents where killed because of their political beliefs. She and her brother were denied. They ended up getting a sponsor and getting citizenship, but to get asylum due to homosexuality is ridiculous.

Yes, absolutely. Great once this is out all of Mexico will suddenly become gay. And how is it the governments responsibility to prove that he isn't being persecuted by his country? How many billions are we going to spend in the future disproving everyone else? If they are will to cross illegally, it will be nothing for them to lie about needing asylum.

Are you saying you got deleted for being gay? I don't find the article to be any more ridiculous than a murderer here using the Twinkies defense and before one accuses someone else of being illiterate they should learn to spell (ridiculous) (our not are)
