Being ‘illegal’ gay and from Iran with no hope of political asylum?

Posted by: Prerna In: Immigration

here is a link to some questions i had asked one of my close DREAMer friends, who is also gay and hails from Iran. his answers were quite insightful, and i hope to have some more people participate in these short bio projects. something that comes through in his answers is how the issues of immigration, asylum and human rights are so intertwined and interconnected that we cannot possibly see them as separate.

someone also suggested a while ago that we should submit our stories to curve and the advocate. i plan to do that once i get the other project done after april.
