The problem with having to prove you're gay is that most gay people don't live their lives collecting documentary evidence of their gayness. So you unless you have contact details for a whole load of same-sex partners willing to testify that you banged, you have to contrive evidence. And then the fact that the evidence looks contrived counts against you. You can't win, and the law is an ass.

Especially if you are fleeing a homophobic regime. You've probably done everything possible to avoid leaving evidence.

What evidence do they even want, your sextape? Perverts
