As the UK tightens its immigration laws and cut down on the number of asylum seekers,Gay rights campaigner Aderonke Apata from Nigeria who has lived in the UK since 2004 has been denied refuge in the UK by the Home Office saying she’s ‘not homosexual’.
Aderonke Apata, 47, came to Britain in 2004 and is an award-winning LGBT rights activist.
Now, she is challenging the Government’s decision not to grant her asylum in Britain and fears that deportation to Africa would compromise her safety. The full story can be found on The Telegraph
What do you think about this case? For a woman who has been in previous heterosexual relationships and had children. Do you think she is faking it to stay in the country or it is genuinely possible for her sexual preferences to have evolved with the times. She has not only campaigned for LGBT but she also took it to Twitter to prove she is a lesbian.
Nothing really fashionable about this post but I will like to hear your thoughts on this case.
I once had a team lead who after being married for a decade and fathering a son, divorced and got married to a man.
He must have been living a lie all his life then. What a life!!
