The Home Secretary’s speech today marks a dangerous precedent against the protection of refugees and people seeking safety across the world. We must stand up to such attacks, for the people who need protection and for our shared humanity.

Our statement 👇

We are appalled to hear that the Home Secretary is questioning the legitimacy of LGBTQI+ people claiming asylum in the UK. Many #LGBTQ + people that we support every day tell us how they faced life-threatening situations back home.
