I came to the United States in 2005. I moved here because I was being treatend of being kill for being gay. Many people in my country are very homophobic. Our government does not protect the right of gay. In fact it is punishable by law. I have talk to my lawyers about my situation and they have all turned me down. I'm going to give it another try.

To qualify fo asylum, you must demonstrate a well founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or political social group. Gays are generally considered to constitute a political social group. Depending on your country of origin, I'm not sure why the lawyers were concerned with in your case.
As a former UN refugee officer, I would strongly recommend contacting our office to discuss your options.
Good luck...
