 I'm sorry that you've encountered such unjust treatment because you're gay. It makes me sick to see people being treated with cruelty just because they're gay.
There's NOTHING wrong with you. You deserve to be accepted and happy.
I would get some legal advice about how to immigrate to USA. Perhaps talk to an attorney; you don't have to tell them that you're gay, just ask for advice about immigrating. Or... could you possibly come here to study? You're 17, about university age... coming here as a student may be a viable option; your English is good too. You could contact some universities.
I hope you can get to California... also, what about Austin, Texas? I think gay people are awesome and I also love Austin, it's very liberal and people are friendly.
Best of luck... remember, don't give up!!

Ok I live in the USA and it's wonderful here I won't be that much of help to your question. If you do move here you should move to California... They are veery ecceptive of gays... Though I live in Texas I love gay people.... There aren't that many where I live but me and gay people just get along lol... California is where it's at though

 I have no idea the laws surrounding immigration or applying for asylum, however one thing I remember hearing is: to apply for asylum, you have to prove that your life is in immanent danger in your homeland. I wish you the best of luck with your visa.
If you do come to the US, you'll likely want to go to bigger cities. They are generally more liberal and accepting of gay culture. There is still much of the US that is very anti-gay. Just look at the gay marriage bans passed in many states.
