“I felt very alone,” said Salman, a young gay man. With an expiring student visa and the prospect of persecution in his home country of Pakistan, he didn’t know where to turn for help.
Fortunately, Salman found OutReach LGBT Center, where he “was greeted with warmth and compassion.” OutReach provided Salman with the necessary tools to gain social asylum and has put him on the path to U.S. citizenship: “I am extremely thankful, OutReach helped me to start a new life as a gay man here in Madison.”
