asylum for gays in the uk

a few days ago it was ruled by the british supreme court that homosexuals seeking asylum in the uk, for fear of being persecuted in their home countries, have a right to stay. good for them. however, the thinking behind this seems slightly less progressive than the decision itself.

from gawker:

"Just as male hetero­sexuals are free to enjoy themselves playing rugby, drinking beer and talking about girls with their mates, so male homosexuals are to be free to enjoy themselves going to Kylie concerts, drinking exotically-coloured cocktails and talking about boys with their straight female mates."

awesome. well, despite that nonsense about kylie minogue, i applaud the court's decision. but really, everyone enjoys an "exotically-coloured cocktail" every once in a while.
