title: Gay asylum seekers win right to stay in United Kingdom.
abstract: The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that gay men facing persecution in their home countries have the right to asylum in the United Kingdom. This decision comes as a response to an appeal by two gay men who had their applications for asylum rejected on the basis that they could choose to keep their personal lives to themselves.
