Catholic Immigration Centre: Gays And Lesbians

Jason Kenney Dept: Speaking at a Catholic immigration centre in Ottawa on Tuesday, Kenney said life can be dangerous in Iran, especially for gays and lesbians, and urged organizations in Canada to help out, according to CBC. "And we do what we can on a limited basis but I'm saying perhaps it's time for those organizations to step up and do so in a more organized fashion," Kenney said and federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said private organizations like gay and lesbian groups need to reach out and sponsor more refugees and bring them to Canada. "With respect to gay and lesbian refugees, I'm often approached saying: 'Look, we're aware of a case of someone in Turkey who had to flee Iran, they had a blog or something, can you help them?' As reported in the news.
