We live in a world where out of 204 countries where the information is available, a total of 77 countries (50 for lesbians) carry some form of punishment for homosexuality. 9 of them are known to still carry the death penalty. Prison sentences are common (8 carry life imprisonment).

When people face this kind of homophobia, it is no wonder that they come to Australia to escape. Associate professor Jenni Millbank has identified 200 cases of people seeking asylum in Australia on the basis of homophobic persecution between 1996 and 2000.
