Halifax Refugee Clinic: Bisexuals

Homosexuals Dept: Organizer Hugo Dann said homosexuals, bisexuals and transgendered people are persecuted in more than 70 countries around the world and Nova Scotia should be doing more to help them seek asylum, according to CBC. "You know it's a very small world and I think that even though we think that Halifax isn't necessarily connected to the global scene and it doesn't affect what's going on in Uganda, we can and I think that the more we build these networks the more we work together on this issue," Dann said and a community forum was held Sunday by the Rainbow Refugees Nova Scotia on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered refugees. Representatives were on hand from the Halifax Refugee Clinic and Immigration Settlement and Integration Services to educate the public on how to help. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
