Canada opens doors for queer immigrants
The Coastby Erica Butler

Whether you're a queer refugee seeking a safe place to be who you are,
or a same-sex couple that's happy to finally find a country where you
and your partner have some basic civil rights, one thing's for sure:
You're going to have to get personal.
For queer refugees, the high level of personal disclosure can be a
challenge. When you've been persecuted your whole life because of your
sexuality, it can be a monumental, even impossible, task to come
face-to-face with a government officer and explain your situation
honestly.
