A Mexican immigrant has been given asylum after a U.S. court ruled the man would suffer persecution for being gay if deported back home.
The ruling by a federal appeals court panel in San Francisco overturned immigration court rulings, the BBC reports.
The panel said the 45-year-old would also have problems finding AIDS treatment.
Jose Boer-Sedano came to the United States in 1990 on a six-month visa and now works as a waiter in San Francisco.
He lived here seven years until immigration authorities began deportation proceedings.
Boer-Sedano told the court that he has been virtually kicked out of his family for being gay.
