“The Home Office has been accused of having ‘outdated’ views on sexuality, after it rejected an asylum claim made by a Nigerian lesbian.
Aderonke Apata, 47, came to Britain in 2004 and is an award-winning LGBT rights activist.
Now, she is challenging the Government’s decision not to grant her asylum in Britain and fears that deportation to Africa would compromise her safety.
