Each year, thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and
intersex (LGBTI) asylum seekers apply for asylum in EU Member
States.This book considers the position of LGBTI asylum seekers in
European asylum law. Developing an encompassing approach to the
topic, the book identifies and analyzes the main legal issues
arising in relation to LGBTI people seeking asylum including: the
underestimation of the relevance of criminalization of sexual
orientation as well as the large scale violence against trans
people in countries of origin by some European states; the
requirement to seek State protection against violence even when
they originate from countries where sexual orientation or gender
identity is criminalized, or where the authorities are homophobic;
the particular hurdles faced during credibility assessment on
account of persisting stereotypes; and queer families and refugee
law. The book gives a state of the art overview of law in Europe,
both at the level of European legislation and at the level of
Member State practice. While being largely focused on Europe, the
book also takes into account asylum decisions from Australia, New
Zealand, Canada, and the United States and is of relevance
internationally, offering analysis of issues which are not specific
to particular legal systems.
