I overstayed in this country since 2003 that is the date I explained my sexual preferance to my parents and then all the problems came up one by one, first of all I have lost all my support from my parents they stopped talking to me and I have been left on my own here. Of cource I wont tell all those problems individualy anyway right now I am looking for a solution that if there is any way for me as a gay person to be legal in this country and what am I suppose to do? Any kind of information will be appreciated and I am just fed up living like that.


kind regards

Unless you can prove that as a gay man returning to your home country will subject you to extreme persecution to the point of violating your human rights, I doubt very much you will have much of a case with the Home Office.

Do you have a partner in uk which you can register a civil partnership with? If so, you would still have to go back to your country of origin and apply for an unmarried partner to register a civil partnership in the uk OR register a civil partnership in your country (if your government does allow same sex couples to register civil partnerships) and then go back to england as a civil partner of a UK citizen
