A Chechen gay man living in the Russian Federation can easily move to another city or region within a state which covers 1/6th of the earth's land surface. By doing so that person will escape from the local discrimination or persecution they reportedly are suffering at present (although the Putin regime denies gays are persecuted within the Russian Federation). This  is referred to as seeking an Internal Flight Alternative (IRA). Being discriminated against because you are gay is not a sufficient grounds for seeking refugee status or protection.
