The naked truth about gay refugees: Gay photographer and filmmaker Alexander Kargaltsev's new exhibition, Asylum, features gay, male Russian refugees, some of them couples, standing naked in New York City as an expression of their vulnerability and fresh start in America: "The models' nakedness is a powerful visual statement imbued with symbolism. They are not nude but naked, for they had courage to shed the many layers of fear and come out to the world uncovered, vulnerable, yet proud."
