#ive spent the entire day doing volunteer legal help for refugees who cant afford lawyers#and theres something so INSANELY fucking alienating#about spending hours writing an appeal for a gay man whos asylum claim got denied#BC HE DIDNT CONVINCE THE ASYLUM AGENCY THAT HE SPENT SUFFICIENT TIME AND EFFORT TRYING TO LIVE AS A GAY MAN IN IRAQ#(from his very asylum hearing on he described his homosexuality being discovered#by his family member and how he could flee the house in the time it took his father to get his shotgun#and the physical violence he suffered from another family member#and how one of his uncles took ~pity on him bc he was only 18#and gave him money to leave the country#under the condition that he would never return or contact the family again)#and seeing all these dehumanising and heartbreaking things in his file#including super out of line questions etc#and then go out and see the buses and trams of public transport all have these like cute rainbow flags#like i cant imagine how it must feel like for him#(or all the other lgbt afghans iraqis ugandans etc that i know)#but it literally makes my fucking blood boil#like actually one of the biggest arguments that get used against lgbt iraqis#(and other non-western lgbt ppl)#is the argument that lgbt rights are just a ~western degeneracy#and then these people come here#(the ones that manage and don't die either in their home countries or on the way)#and then they realise that yeah we're all so proud of our lgbt rights#its not just legal - it's also an advertising gimmick and a state sponsored party#except for people like them#we're completely comfortable sending them back to their deaths#and like his chances for appeal are actually quite good#but it's literally down to volunteers to even write that#and there are SO MANY cases like that
