The “Free Movement” blog has published a list of questions it reports as being asked by UK asylum & immigration staff of someone seeking asylum on the grounds of persecution due to sexual orientation. In 2010 the asylum rules were changed so as to respect that bisexuality and homosexuality may be justifiable reason why people from particular countries might need to seek refuge in the UK, but there are questions over how this is being implemented in practice.
Free Movement say questions are transcribed from the interviewer’s written record of an interview with a detained asylum seeker who stated he was bisexual. These include “why have you got to behave as a bisexual in [country]?” and (of having sex with another man) “why did you use a condom?”
