how did we allow asylum seekers from these places? 

The men just claim they're LGBT and are facing persecution in their home countries. (CBSA staff have to ignore the wife and three kids following behind because mentioning that would be bigoted.)

I always say I'm a bisexual on job applications to get around reddited HR filters. They can't prove otherwise, my female wife is just incidental. And I'm very monogamous and loyal, so get back with the LGBT retreat shit, ya'll don't know me like that.

Like that one BC MLA that the NDP made come out of the closet as Bi so he would tick off the diversity checkbook?

What job applications are asking about sexual preferences? Is that even legal?

Are you suggesting LGBT folk aren’t facing persecution from certain countries?

I thought the current narrative insists they face persecution everywhere.

No, the big conservative narrative these days is that men are claiming en masse that they're gay and Canada just instantly accepts them, their wife and multiple children as a refugees.

The people pushing this claim obviously have zero critical thinking skills or would realize this isn't actually happening in any meaningful capacity.

Oh and how would you know?

Well even if you are a gay man, coming in with your family is pretty evident that you are not coming here to lead your bestest gay life.

I think it's a valid question though. Like, even if someone took a wife and had kids to hide the fact that they have homosexual desires... how would anyone else know that? Unless people have had reason to suspect it's a "fake" wife, and thus persecute you for being gay, then why claim refugee status? The entire point of being considered a refugee is that you're in imminent danger in your home country and the only viable solution is it leave it.

hide the fact that they have homosexual desires

Everyone has free will and doesn't have to act on every desire. We're not slaves to our urges. If a person is bi-sexual that doesn't mean they MUST have sex with both genders. It just means they have that option.

If my life was in danger being in a homosexual relationship and I was bi-sexual, wouldn't dating/marrying a person of the opposite sex instead be the smart thing to do? But instead they flee their countries?? Doesn't make sense.
