TORONTO — A bisexual man in Canada has been granted one-year temporary residency just a day before his scheduled deportation to Kenya — an outcome his supporters call "a victory for migrant and queer justice.
“A copy of the UN application says his refugee claim was denied because the adjudicator did not find Mwangi, who is married and has two children, to be a credible bisexual man“
Bi erasure strikes yet again. Bi and pan folks in supposedly “straight” relationships are still LGBTQ+, the letter “B” is right effing there. Bi and pan folks absolutely face discrimination and oppression, even if it doesn’t necessarily manifest in the same ways other queer folks experience.
I’m glad he has a temporary reprieve from deportation, at least.

Not to mention a testimony from a man he was dating in Toronto.
