Sweden will be deporting a 28-year-old Kenyan woman after she allegedly failed a test to prove she is a lesbian. Lucy Murugi, who arrived in Sweden two years ago, says she fears going back to Kenya because her life is in danger.
Lucy told a Swedish media that her family turned their back on her after learning her sexual orientation and only got assistance from her cousin who helped her get a visa and accommodated her in Marsta, Stockholm.
She then applied for refugee status but her application was denied by the Swedish Migration Board 14 months later because she is ‘not gay enough’.
Swedish Migration Board states that a person has the right to seek asylum in Sweden if he feels well-founded fear of persecution because of his or her sexual orientation.
If an individual applies for asylum, Migration Board makes an individual valuation of the asylum seekers right to protection. If the asylum seeker claims to belong to the LGBT group, it must probably make it possible for the Migration Board.
To “make probable” is a lower requirement than to “prove” because a sexual orientation cannot be proved. The Swedish Migration Board makes a credibility assessment.
An asylum is entitled to a legal counsel, and if they are lucky enough are assigned a lawyer who is specialized in the complex LGBT investigations.
First, the person is subjected to an in-depth interview with the Swedish Migration Board, and answering the questions of a prosecutor, the asylum seeker provides all reasons and information that the Migration Board will take a position.
“Would you describe yourself as lesbian or gay?”, “When do you feel that you became sexually interested in other people? How do you think about this?” And “For me, these sounds like a form of sexual exploitation of you, and not one Equal sex relationship “are some of the questions the Board asks.
“I did not understand anything. No one told me what to expect, what I would do or say, or at least give me some guidelines,” Lucy said.
She alleges that her life is in danger because her name has been published as a lesbian in the Ugandan Tabloid Red Pepper among 200 other African lesbians.
Who uses the word MUST and…
Who uses the word MUST and PROBABLY in the same sentence? How can I test, positively, that I am straight?….just wondering… Where does ‘gender’, or it sexual orientation, profiling begin and where does it end?….is there a line somewhere?……
One hitherto “practising…
One hitherto “practising Kenyan Lwayer” in Diaspora spoke of how meow Straight Men and Women from ONE Kenyan Community go to the Wetern World “holding hands” PRETENDING to be GAY in order to seek ASYLUM. Sad.
Haaaaaaaaa this is a Kenya…
Haaaaaaaaa this is a Kenya who is very straight but lying to the authorities that she is a faggot So she can b given papers???Kweli waafrica tumenjazwa na mapepo,the many stinking things pple do to have legal papers stinks.When I was in USA I knew few wife’s who r married but they use to b banged by the nyeuthis who r giving them papers.I knew also many pastors n pple who call themselves born again buying this papers n yet they call themselves born again???No wonder the divorces have become very high among Kenyans coz of this stinking selfish behaviors.Kwani did u kill somebody back home or were u chased away??If u truely love yr wife or husband n u don’t have papers,work together then return as one happy big family n God will bless you n enlarge you???

‘Therefore, there is now no…
‘Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus’, Condemnation comes from the devil………..When God forgives He put our sins as far as from East to the West. ‘as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us’…………..’everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard’…….’If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us’.

@Kenya:
You are worshipping the son of Mariam (Yeshua) because you were colonized by people who worshipped this Jewish fellow. There are aggressive cultures that proselytize like the European and Arab cultures. Kenya and most of the African countries have been mentally brainwashed by the two religions that emanate from the Middle East.
If the cultures from India were aggressive and as proselytizing as the Arab and European cultures, right now you would be worshipping a “COW.” To the Hindus, the cow is sacred. Fortunately the Hindu and Judaic religions don’t proselytize.
The Gikuyu people faced Mountain Kirinyaga when they worshipped. That is okay with me as long as they don’t force me to face this mountain as a form of my newly imposed form of prayer. Religion unlike science is and should be confined to its geographical place of origins.
Let us not kid ourselves: If you have gone through formal foreign schools and you don’t yet see that the Jewish and Arabic religions are arrogant and very violent and don’t belong outside of their geographical place of origin, then have the courage to call yourself “illiterate.” Please don’t call yourself “educated” if you believe in the Jewish or Arab based religions.
I bet @Kenya, your first real name is a “slave name.” What is slave name? Any name that is based on the two most arrogant and mentally colonizing religions of the world based on the Jewish and Arabic myopic view on superstitions and metaphysics.
@Msema Kweli, there is…
@Msema Kweli, there is freedom of worship. You worship whoever you want and respect other religions even if you do not believe in what they believe. That is what mature and educated people do. They do not feel threatened when people do not worship like them.
Lesbianism is not an exam to…
Lesbianism is not an exam to pass or fail. It’s not a one size fits all deal. Every lesbian and heterosexual woman is different. Some women are hot, others cold, and most fall in between.
Does anyone have a link to the questions asked at these interviews? I’m not a lesbian but I can pass that Swedish lesbian test with flying colours.
hehe..@Mumbi, same here…
hehe..@Mumbi, same here…Know I can pass that exam with flying colors even if I have no clue of how/what Lesbian is happens/is.
Ah…Mkenya halisi, wacha…
Ah…Mkenya halisi, wacha watu wapate makaratasi zao waezavyo. Kwani, wazungu wenyewe walipataje makaratasi? It is survival…warudi Kenya where there is 60% unemployment?
Brathaz and sistaz, do what you gotta do to make it. You have every right to make it.
@Mkenya:…
@Mkenya:
You must be brainwashed beyond redemption. If you read my post well, I stressed that I respect people who worship their own indigenous religions. I also respect Islam if it is only confines to its place of origin – Saudi Arabia. However, when this religion is spread through intimidation and death, I then stop acknowledging it or respecting it.
I have read the many posts that you have written and I bet you a member of the Gikuyu people of Kenya. I won’t make any comment if I see you praying while facing Kirinyaga. On the other hand, when I see you quoting from a one of the most decadent, and filthy book full of violence, murder,and theft – the bible, I immediately realize that one member of the Gikuyu people is mentally dead.
If you are a follower of the bible or the koran, you cannot call yourself “educated.” You are culturally and religiously illiterate. You are also culturally and religiously “immature ” if after spending so many years in school you have not learnt that, one of the most successful way of killing a culture is to destroy its language, culture, religion, and disconnecting one from his/her ancestors.
Just out of curiosity: @ Kenya, what is your first name? Are you a follower of the religion that is based on the son of Mariam – the Jewish fellow? Please don’t expect me to respect a totally brainwashed person who does not even realize that they are brainwashed!
For your information, Dada Murugi ( I refuse to recognize her slave name) is a lost Gikuyu girl. As far as I know, before the coming of the British terrorists (missionaries, teachers, nurses, doctors, administrators, farmers etc) , to Kenya, no Gikuyu person imagined having sexual contact with a member of the sex sex! This idea was introduced to us in the boarding schools when children in their early and formative years were isolated from their parents and taught by the British teachers who taught them that it is okay to fool around sexually with a person of the same sex. Being a lesbian is no different from being a muslim or a christian! They are all decadent constructs introduced to us by our former colonial terrorists!
@Msema Kweli, if you cannot…
@Msema Kweli, if you cannot be able to respect and tolerate other religions you are not better than those terrorist killing people. Let people worship the way they want it is none of your business. Whether somebody pick a name from mars or Jupiter it is none of your business.
I wonder what mkenya halisi…
I wonder what mkenya halisi is.he must have failed terribly here in USA.then get deported broke as hell.u mean to tell us your live got better since they kicked your ass out? Wacha kutudanganya Mzee.u sound like u miss USA so much and desperate to come back.
African will do anything…
African will do anything just to live in Europe or North America. Wow God helps us all
…they will do anything,…
…they will do anything, just like you. Tell us what you are doing to live there.
NO. Kenyans will do/risk…
NO. Kenyans will do/risk anything to live anywhere they have a remote chance of making a better life than what they get at home. Mwakilishi is full of stories of poor Kenyans who go to Arab countries despite numerous heartbreaking stories of mistreatment, torture, and death in the hands of cruel employers. In the meantime, Kenyans with opportunity are looting their own country dry and you only have a problem with people trying to escape this desperation?
@ KENYA:…
@ KENYA:
I will be brief. Waswahili husema, ” Baba wa kambo si baba.” In English language it means your step dad is not your dad. When a brainwashed Africans abandon their traditional religions in favor of the two most violent religions (islam and christianity) the world has ever seen that are responsible for African slavery and all the mess that we have in our world today then the New African dies a slow mental death.
I respect all traditional African religions and would not bash them or criticize them. The Kamba people of Kenya, have a ceremony where they beat drums the whole night – ” kuinga kilumi” and ” kuya kithiitu ” an oath taking ceremony which is administered to check people who are pathological liars. I respect them because unlike the two very arrogant terrorist religions, they don’t proselytize, force you to speak their language, give you their names and finally make you feel ashamed of anything African like Brother @Kenya! I bet @Kenya celebrates his “birthday” as our former colonial masters did and do!
Ndugu @Kenya, we have wasted enough time on these two foreign religions while we should spend time changing our curriculum so that 53 years after independence, we don’t import our Chinese brothers and sisters to build and maintain our infrastructures.
Our focus in schools should be on teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects which are the foundations of the industrial and corporate world.
CRE (christian religious education) as an academic subject should be removed from the school’s curriculum immediately. Why not incorporate into our curriculum the teaching about the Hausa, Masai, or the Zulu people of South Africa?
@Msema Kweli, do you know…
@Msema Kweli, do you know that Swahili is not a native African language? It is a mixture of Bantu & Arabic. That being said you should not quote a saying from Swahili because you want to glorify your native Kikuyu language and your tradition religion. People who have your kind of mentality are very dangerous and are the ones who commit terrorist act. Your writing shows that you have a deep psychological problems and you might end up being a terrorist. Dalai Lama Karanja or Mohamed Karanja or Joseph Karanja has nothing to do with your life. If they like those names good for them. Who are you to dictate which names they should use. If you cannot stand those names then it is the high time you see a psychologist & psychiatrist.
Mkenya Kweli aache…
Mkenya Kweli aache kindanganya waKenya.Whatever happened to him in the US is none of my business but he should leave others alone,He inherited some two hundred acres from his father at Tigoni,Limuru na sasa anafikilia tunafanana.Let other people survive ata kama wewe ni SHOGA,Tapeli,Murogi,Malaya ama Kasisi.
@Omera, if this dude…
@Omera, if this dude inherited 200 acres in Tigoni he must be a Nigerian. Nigerian scams
I should have known better…
I should have known better that “once brainwashed” always remains brainwashed and supports the brainwasher. It is called the “Stockholm syndrome.”
For your information, I have not in the past and will not perform any act of violence against my seven billion brothers and sisters who inhabit our home Planet Earth.
How can I see a psychiatrist trained by our former colonial masters, and is as brainwashed as you are!
Let us focus on STEM subjects in our schools and build the future of our country. Let us be like the people of India, who were colonized by the British terrorists for over two hundred years and are still practicing their Hindu religion and are advanced technologically that they don’t need the Chinese to come to India to construct their airports, roads, or railways. That is what I have been trying to convey to YOU my totally brainwashed Brother @Kenya.
Correction: Swahili is a Bantu language. All international languages have borrowed some lexical items from other languages. Swahili has borrowed some lexical items from the Arabic as well as Persian, Chinese (chai) Portuguese (mvinyo), German (shule), and many words from the English language.
Dude or dudette- I respect…
Dude or dudette- I respect your mastery in insha but stop alluding that others are brainwashed .Fact is the whole world can learn from each other. Yeah the indians you cite, they still have backward traditions that do not belong to this century even with their advancement. Raping their women is not part of cultured people is it now? Caste system where they see others are lesser being including you, be careful who you are looking up to for they also have their vices. If I were you I would stop bashing our people over religion , just like you would not bash an African American for being dragged down by slavery and still in 2017 we still see the remnants of it . If Indians are so advanced, where is it 50% of population live in dirt poor calcutta, or rural poor pradesh, Uttar , Bihar etc? Why have they not “discovered” the art of farming instead of a mule and a plough in 2017. Wacha , Kenyans maybe not be up there but in most cases we are not that behind and yes we have done something that the world has not done with their knowledge . Our ICT ecosystem amazed the world ( google it , election monitoring, even US elections, MPESA)). I do not see many Olympians from India , or a rugby team . Plus with India gaining independence in 1947, why are they not “developed ” They afterall had 16 years ahead of us eh? You my friend are more brainwashed than whoever you calling so . If you visit Kenya, there are many people making things happen even when they are not here on Mwakilishi . You ought to be champioing Kenya and instead of talking to much. You , what have you done for Kenya or are you those who sit on the fence and throw stones. Lastly you need to find a video called SGR , my story and see the transfer of knowledge from that SGR Chinese experts to Kenyans. Learn to be optimistic and positive for Kenya for that is now we move forward. You should visit countries in underdeveloped world in Caribbean or West Africa, you will surely appreciate Kenya!

Thank you for your comments. I would like you to know that I appreciate your open and sincere observations about my post. Ndugu, I love Kenya very much. My own mother’s blood was shed during the first liberation of Kenya. Waswahili husema, “…Asiyefunzwa na mamaye, hufunzwa na ulimwengu usio na huruma.”
Nakushukuru sana Ndugu yangu kwa mawaidha yako. Asante sana. Nakutakia kila la kheri.

In Tanzania the term “Ndugu” can be applied to any male or female. This is the word that the late president of Tanzania coined in order to unite the more than 250 different micro-nations that make up the present Tanzania.
In Tanzania. the youth address a person of their age as “dada” if female and “kaka” if male. Among the older generations they prefer “Ndugu.” You are right as far as Kenya is concerned. In Kenya, the word “ndugu” refers to your blood brother while Dada to your blood sister. I did not mean to be rude or insult you. Naomba radhi sana Dada.
Personally, I have a lot of respect for the people of Tanzania for developing Kiswahili and making it one of the international languages of the world. Yaaani Watanzania hawafanyii Kiswahili masihara. Ukienda kwenye bunge, wanatumia Kiswahili kujadiliana na kupitisha miswada bila matatizo yoyote. Ningependa kuwaona Wanakenya wakijivunia lugha hii kama ndugu zetu wa nchi ya Tanzania.
Buheri wa afya Dada.
