Gay man branded a Paedophile because he has a Boyfriend and a Camera
A gay man was accused of being a paedophile because he had a boyfriend and a camera.
Now you're probably thinking where on Earth did this take place? Well sadly, it happened in this country, at London's Gatwick Airport by the UK Border Force in the North Terminal.
This man was stopped by the border force officers who believed he "might be involved in paedophilia" because he had a boyfriend and a camera. They then proceeded to search his bag because they believed because he had a boyfriend and a camera, he was one. Then to make things worse, the staff did a background check on the male and found out he was HIV positive, to which one of the officers advised another collegue to use a strong antispetic gel on his hands while searching his baggage. Oh yeah, because we all know you can catch HIV from touching someones stuff.
The unnamed male was "asked routine questions about the trip" and when his bag was to be searched, he requested it to be done in a private room - to which he was refused. All the comments made by staff were all in earshot of the passengers in the terminal too.
