The Directorate of Immigration (UDI) gave all Iranian asylum seekers residency if applicants claimed to be homosexual.
The UDI granted asylum even if the testimony often had little backing or appeared to be patently false, newspaper VG reports...

Is that like when upper-class African Americans check "black" on affirmative action forms, though their record collections are full of Burl Ives and Rickey Nelson?
Not quite. Norway probably figures that it would be stressful for a hetero Muslim to play up being homosexual in order to enter the country.
I don't know anybody who listens to Burl Ives, black or white....
Maybe Norway could start a new tv series - something on the order of "Three's Company" with an Iranian twist.
