Let's assume that you apostatized and you are gay, you do not want to let your family nor country nor friends know about that since they will not help you and you might face a real danger or you may loose your life, but you want your freedom and want to be safe and have a normal life? any ideas? what would you do? please if you are interested in helping , send me a message or guide me to anyone who can help
BTW i cannot move to any other place i have no enough money nor i can call the police 'cause i'm sure they WILL NOT HELP and that may get things worse since they themselves are against LGBT people and apostasy

It sounds like you are in a very serious situation, and it is very difficult to answer without more information, although I understand that you can't give away who you are. Since you mention that your life may be in danger, I am afraid you have to keep your secret for now. Check the internet to see if there are any Human Rights groups, Amnesty International, in your area that may be able to help. If you live in a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, or a country known for human rights abuse, you may qualify for refugee status in a country such as Canada, UK, Spain, but you are right that it is difficult, and tho you may be in real danger, it can be hard to prove. If you can get on the chat lines and tell your story, maybe find someone who can help, but that isn't necessarily safe either. I am sorry none of this is much help to you, if I had the means, I would help. For now protect yourself, keep the secret if you really fear for your life, and keep searching the internet. Even in the countries that accept gays, we still have killings, and bashings, but more and more people are begining to accept us. I don't know if you are religious or not, but either way, it wouldn't hurt to ask whatever God you believe in to guide you to safety and freedom. You are loved as you are, by God, and by millions of us other gays around the world who know what you are going thru.
OK , I just did a search and came up with this site. it is in Canada, and has information that might help in making a refugee claim.

I hope this helps, good luck.

I think it depends on where you live.. I've heard that countries like Jamaica are completely against anyone being gay, and you'd be arrested just for being gay.. I think that if there's no real way that you're going to get help from family, friends or anyone, then there isn't much hope. I think it's a pretty big secret to keep and it isn't good to keep it all to yourself. But what other choices do you have? If there's real physical danger then I have no idea at all. Maybe if you saved enough money, you could move to another place. If you live within the EU, it's pretty easy to move to another country in Europe where you might feel safer.

I am really sorry to hear of your situation. By the way, what is apostatized? We don't know your age or your country so it's hard to offer suggestions. Is there a possibility of visiting friends in another place? In another country?
If you are young enough to still be in school, I would keep quiet until I graduate. Turning legal age gives you the opportunity to make some important decisions. Squirrel away some money till then so you can leave. Good luck!!!!!

If you are living in a country where homosexuality is illegal then you could possibly be granted asylum based on fear of persecution due to sexual orientation. Canada, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Australia, and the Netherlands are a few countries that will grant political asylum based on sexual orientation persecution. Try to contact the foreign embassy of one of these countries to learn more.
