Artem Mitrofanov came to the U.S. with scars of growing up gay in Russia. Some were literal, such as the one on his wrist from the day he says a skinhead slashed him with a broken bottle. Others were internal, including pains in his kidney, which he says are the result of being beaten by assailants wielding religious icons who told him he should die.
Still others were psychological. "If you're gay, that's it. It's like a mark on you," said Mr. Mitrofanov, who is 27 and from Moscow. His solution was to leave. He applied for asylum in the U.S. in 2009 and won refuge in 2010.

Where can U.S. heterosexuals look for asylum?
Australia started as a prison island, didn’t it ?
Give us your poor, your perverted, your uneducated and your rabid jihadists and we will put them on Whitey’s Gravy Train. Then for good measure we will spy on all Americans to make sure they don’t bother YOUR poor, your perverted, your uneducated and your rabid jihadists. (Obama’s foreign policy initiative otherwise known as “transforming America”.)
They give asylum to gays from Russia who are not in physical danger.
They deny asylum to Christians from Syria who are in danger of being killed.
I’d prefer they allow the Christians in and keep the gays out.
A moment of internet history. The first gay wedding rejection by Grumpy cat! ;)
In Russia, asylum look for YOU.
Well... full disclosure..
First reaction was “How you fixed for guns and trucks and boats and stuff?”
HORRIBLE link. OMG, how crazy would you have to be to take that stuff?
“Where can U.S. heterosexuals look for asylum?”
I hear the hunting in the Siberian wilderness is excellent. We go over there and wait them out for a couple of generations! :)
Well there’s a pontoon boat in they yard, a desert truck, a ranger, one small fishing boat and a late 1800s Winchester 32 special lost in a mysterious accident off said pontoon boat....
Putin seems to be engineering a homosexual version of Cuba’s 1980 Mariel boatlift.
On that occasion, Fidel Castro was able to deposit 125,000 Cuban refugees, who turned out to be primarily criminals, anti-Castro-ites, and mental-health cases, on America’s shores. Which helped the Castro brothers stay in power another 33 years.
If America’s homosexual community joins together to prod our government to accept Russian homosexuals as refugees, Russia will be homosexual-free, and Putin won’t have to worry about a homosexual anti-Putin voting block standing against him for his next 33 years in power.
The late U.S. senator Eugene McCarthy said: “the United States has become the flop-house of the world” due to the 1965 Immigration Act. We are now the laughingstock of the world. In 1965 we were the envy of the world & the greatest nation in human history....
Oh, nyet! Where the hell do we straights go for asylum, Iran?
Dowry FAIL.
Although the boats are a plus, as mine got a tree fell on it during hurricane Ike.
There it still sits, lookin’ sad.
R.I.P. Exxon Valdez, we hardly knew ye...
So... no asylum for German homeschoolers, but if you’re potential Obama voter, come right on in!
No trees here to fall. Sun just melts everything.
Almost lost that desert truck to an engine fire. After 2 years a brand new Holley decided it didn’t like the heat ans powderized the accelerator pump gasket.
Regional dangers ;)
Not entirely, the British used it for more than that. And the Aborigines might resent the idea that their history started with the arrival of the British. Your point?
