"Canada rejects gay man who isn't effeminate..."
As if we didn't catch enough shit already, they've found a new way too discriminate. If Hispanics don't "look gay", they can't be considered threatened in their homeland.

In my best fractured Spanish, they appear to be telling him:

"Vuelva al armario hombre macho guapo"

2. This was already posted a few days ago...
think it might have been in LBN. Their reasoning is completely flawed, and they also ignore the psychological stress and trauma that can result from having to maintain the charade of staying in the closet, worrying constantly about making the tiniest slip...and here I was thinking Canada was supposed to be a civilised and enlightened country...

3. I appreciate you telling me...I missed it and thought I had
something new. At least now I know its just old news, not that I'm being ignored.

5. What kind of credentials do you have to have to make THAT call?
A degree in Queer eye for the immigrant guy?
