Man says Brazilian Husband Denied Asylum

The husband of a gay Brazilian man says that his spouse was denied asylum that would allow them to be reunited in the United States. Tim Coco said on Monday that the Obama administration took no action on Friday in the case of Genesio Oliviera, which effectively led to the denial of his request. The Justice Department did not return messages.

Oliviera sought asylum because he said he had been raped as a teenager. His first request was denied in 2002. He returned to Brazil after his 2007 appeal was denied, which was two years after he and Coco had married in Massachusetts.
