Lmfao this is a joke right? It's this person's responsibility to find new accomodations, and move if they need to. You can't just fucking claim asylum because you have a stalker. Absolutely ridiculous argument.
Are you living under a rock or something?
You think this person will be safe in the US after all this media circus?
Stop being disingenuous. There are plenty of states in the US that are very LBGT friendly. This person was in Colorado, which has extremely lax gun laws, so of fucking course they're at risk of gun violence. And it's not state-sponsored violence, it was a personal conflict. They have many, many options to ensure their safety in the US, including changing their name and moving. Both of which are easier than moving to Canada.
Doesn't matter. The Supreme Court of Canada held in Ward that persecutors need not be affiliated with the state. Hell, even state complicity isn't necessary.
