A gay Ugandan-born asylum-seeker is facing deportation to his homeland where homosexuality is illegal after immigration officials decided he had “failed to prove” his sexuality.

Robert Kityo, who lives in Manchester, was taken to a deportation centre after his latest attempt to claim asylum was refused by the Home Office. A decision letter sent by officials acting on behalf of Home Secretary Theresa May said: “It is not accepted that you are a homosexual and an openly gay man.”

Having worked in the migration field for almost a decade, this is step in the right direction. We have been precluded from such conclusions even when your judgement, gut and heck, even your intestines tell you that the dude in front of you is not, cannot and has never been gay! The justification given by the LGBTI rights activists is that short of being the fly on the wall in the guy’s bedroom, you cannot even suppose that he is not what he claims to be. I once adjudicated a case of a ‘supposed gay guy’ and several months later he was hitting on a female colleague!
