Literacy Skills Dept: The private practice lawyer, who specializes in refugee and immigration cases, always expects a hassle at the airport. For that, he d rather look gay than Muslim, according to The Star. Sometimes their clients arrive with only the shirts on their backs, prompting Khaki, Jackson and their community to provide winter clothes. Often they come to Canada without the literacy skills to know that they ve been swindled by a scam artist consultant back home. Mostly, they are fleeing persecution of every kind gender discrimination, domestic violence, homophobia and before 9/11, I always de-fagged, explains El-Farouk Khaki, of his airport security strategy. I always took my jewelry off, looking as non-descript as possible. After 9/11? Honey, I keep my jewels on. Khaki, who does wear a lot of white gold, brings to dinner his partner Troy Jackson, who also manages his office. Both are opinionated. Jackson has little filter, whereas Khaki can be cagey, often pausing mid-sentence and asking me to repeat or clarify questions. As
reported in the news.
