.An American Deserter Fights For Refugee Status In Canada
According to the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration a person seeking either asylum or refugee status in Canada qualifies under one of two provisions.
The first: A Convention refugee (refers to the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol.) is someone seeking to enter Canada "who is outside of their country of nationality or habitual residence and who is unable or unwilling to return to that country because of a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, political opinion, nationality or membership in a particular social group."

If you ask me, they can have him. But what I don't understand is why he went to time trouble and money to go to Canada, all he had to do was say he's gay, and he would not have had to worry about it.
