Law Firms Helping Migrants to Pose as Gay to Get Asylum
15th April 2026
Law firms are charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay so they can stay in the UK, an investigation has found.
Migrants whose visas have run out are being provided with fake cover stories and guided on how to obtain fabricated evidence such as letters, photographs and medical reports.
They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay, which they say would put them at risk of persecution if they were to return to Pakistan or Bangladesh.
Just in case you wondered where the phrase “fake and gay” came from.
