The British Home Office's attitude of "if they stayed in the closet, they wouldn't be killed" sickens me. It's a bit like saying to Jewish refugees in the 1940s, well if you pretended to not be Jewish, you'd be all right.
Iran is killing people for following basic human biology. And the British government appears to be helping them. Of course, with Harper in power, I despair of the Canadian government being any better.
It really isn't that far from Canada's "none is too many" attitude from the 1940s.
