The Swedish system is sort of similar but the complexity of it is insane. How do you prove that you're LGBTQ? If someone asked me "Oh well how can we see that you're gay?" the only proof is that I have a set of fairly documented relationships with men, and I'm married but coming from a place where that might get me killed, obviously I wouldn't have.
The other method was "asking about LGBTQ things" like a questionnaire which is even dumber since the questionnaire is designed for people in the Nordics and how LGBTQ is seen as here, not in a nationwide closet with executioners outside.
So while the system is brilliant (because of course being persecuted for your sexuality or gender expression are relevant reasons to get asylum), the methods with which it protects itself from "abuse" (whatever that can mean for people who have fled desperately across continents, risking death, hunger and cold to get here) are created by idiots. Or people who seem to have flicked through the LGBTQ guidelines and thought that it was an A1 manual.

I completely agree. But I can't really think of what ways this should be done.
How should this be done to be done well?
