Asylum for Gay Iraqis

In the Netherlands:

The situation facing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in Iraq is so serious that they do now qualify for asylum in the Netherlands, immigration minister Gerd Leers said on Thursday.

However, would-be refugees will have to prove they are from Iraq, the minister said in a briefing.

It's unknown if proof of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender proclivities is required.
