In the U.S., at least, while the Bill of Rights is meant to specifically enumerate immutable rights, but that doesn't mean you don't have rights not granted. To be simplistic, you have a right to do anything so long as it is not legally prohibited.

Canadian Embassy refuses immigration status
According to definitions cited in the refusal letter, a "Convention refugee" is any person who "by reason of well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group or political opinion" has left his country and "by reason of that fear, is unwilling to return to that country."
Besides, isn't this debate about including sexuality in the convention? We're aware it isn't in there now.
