2. The assertion and judgment

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion is U.S., a home country around 2013.

The male who drink B was aware of alcohol at his house and had sexual intercourse with B while under the influence of alcohol.

The Plaintiff maintained a same-sex relationship with B until 2015, and around 2014, the Plaintiff’s spouse became aware of the Plaintiff’s same-sex relationship, and the said fact became known to the Plaintiff’s family members.

U.S.C.

The Act was enacted to prohibit the same-sex marriage, and many people have a strong rejection of the same-sex marriage. If the plaintiff returns to his own country, it is likely that he will be threatened with the freedom of life or physical liberty on the grounds of same-sex marriage.

Nevertheless, the disposition of this case which rejected the Plaintiff’s application for refugee status is unlawful.
