@Aletheiaholic @MichelleRempel @BarbaraRKay I'm sorry, but UNHCR cannot do anything if resettlement countries don't give them quota for LGBT Refugees. Which means no resettlement referral to Canada. Since 2015 Canada has stopped accepting LGBT refugees leaving hundreds of us stranded in Turkey. Michelle is saving our lives

@Aletheiaholic @MichelleRempel @BarbaraRKay As a matter of fact, prioritizing some group of refugees over another vulnerable is what left LGBT Refugees in limbo. Since 2015 Canada has not accepted any referral from UNHCR Turkey, to prioritize Syrian refugees. So why to choose a group over another?

@MichelleRempel @Aletheiaholic @BarbaraRKay Thank you Michelle for talking about the plight of #LGBTRefugees. Hundreds of us are stranded in Turkey and under daily #homophobic attacks because UNHCR doesn't refer any to Canada, and US still not processing 18 months after the ban. We have no support

@UNHCRCanada @jnbeuze @RefugeesMedia @bikodesigns @TransWorkforce Why Iranian #lgbtrefugees are not welcome? We are living in unsafe conditions for years and everybody has forgotten about us. How can you talk about LGBT Refugees without mentioning vulnerable LGBTs who have fled persecution years ago
