Everyone has the right to seek safety
Most countries recognize sexual identity and sexual orientation as recognized fear of persecution[1], but some countries still do not recognize it, so please double-check whether the destination country recognizes it.
At the same time, taking Canada as an example, refugees are divided into "Convention refugees" and "protected persons". Sexual orientation and identity are within the scope of Convention refugees[2], but at the same time, due to the dangerous consequences that transgender people and other sexually diverse groups may face, they may also be included in the definition of protected persons.
As a result of events occurring before 1 January 1951 and owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.
