your whole posts sounds desperation to get a visa. 
being gay doesnt mean that u can just apply for asylum. asylum is not a visa
im out

You don't need to convince anyone here that you won't overstay or that you won't leave at all, you have to convince the consulate where you interview. You need to show very strong ties and reasons that you will return home. Merely saying "I promise I will return" is not going to convince anyone. You need to understand that many, many, many people before you have said the same but made the choice to do the opposite. You can thank those that have gone before you for making it difficult to get a B2. Good luck.

I'll have to return, so will definitely return back to Japan. Let's put what we talked about before aside, can I apply for an asylum visa?

That is what I am rehearsing for. I shouldn't be so emotional about how badly I wanna live in the US. "Inhale, exhale, I'll be OK," my inner voice is like.

If you talk to the officer about trying to escape to a free world, you are clearly showing immigrant intent and your tourist visa will be denied. If your intention is to get to the US and stay there, a B visa is not the appropriate visa for you.
 
If your intention is to just visit your boyfriend/fiance/not sure what he is, and then return to Japan, that is what you need to focus on. You will have to convince the officer that you are not going to marry him and apply for adjustment of status, because you have reasons to return to Japan.
 
If you are going to play on the officer's emotions and talk about wanting to escape to a free world, you will come across as very desperate with a high risk of immigrant intent, which is not what a B visa is for.

crying for help means u are not looking to get tourist visa

1. So you're from Mongolia, living in Japan and want to escape to US.
 
2. You then want to try to manipulate the IO with a sad LBGTQ story. BTW, they're are a lot of LBGT people in Japan. Why not live there? 
 
3. First you wanted a B-2 and said you'll return. Now you want asylum? Hehhe wonders never cease. 
 
Though shall not pass The Smell Test. I'm out!

Asylum based on what? Do you risk persecution in Japan? I highly doubt it. Being unhappy where you live is no reason to be granted asylum.

But, literally, I'm crying for help. How hard for LGBT people to live in the rest of the world? It's the same as I'm trying to escape from emotional/social torture to a free world.

I am considerate and kind and I’m actually helping you by telling you that lying is an awful idea. And by burning bridges I meant that if the lie is caught (it will) they can accuse you of misrepresentation and that’s a lifetime bar. Is that what you want? 
If being kind and considerate means telling you it’s ok to lie, that is a violation of VJ TOS

According to another post by you:
 
https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/789308-gay-couple-form-i-129f-k-1-visa/#comments
 
 
It is not about "being smart".  It is about being truthful.  You have already posted that he is your boyfriend, and that you are in a long distance relationship.  A response to the CO along the lines of "oh, he's just a friend" seems like misrepresentation.
 
You seem very fixated on hetero vs ** issues/rights.  Your sexual orientation is private and USCIS/DOS will not ask about it.  The CO will figure it out when you declare you have a boyfriend, but again, it has no bearing on immigration and visa decisions.
 
DOS will keep a full record of your visa applications and interviews.  Later on, the success of your K1 or other visa applications will depend on consistencies or inconsistencies between your various applications.

Because the number one criteria you’ll be judged on when you apply for a visa is immigrant intent and your ties to home.   That is codified into law for consular officers to evaluate.
 
You need to be 100% truthful about having a bf in the US.   Any fib or lie can halt your chances at future visas, both immigrant or nonimmigrant.   You can also be turned away after arriving at the US port of entry for lying.   Just don’t do it.

Always be truthful. This person is not just a friend; you have discussed filing for a K-1 visa. If you are not sure if you would call him a boyfriend/fiance, just be truthful about that.
 
Your sexual orientation will not make any difference.
Good luck trying to play on the officer's emotions. They are just doing their job, they hear stories like yours all the time, and they are trained to find out if an applicant is lying or may be hiding something (like having a boyfriend in the US).
 
Be honest about your intentions. If your goal is to spend time with the boyfriend so you can file a K-1, it would be easier for him to travel to you or to meet in a third country.

when u r asked reason for the visit ,  say to see my fiancee
u are in no way obligated to mention your sexual preference 
 
 

Sorry for the delayed response. I reached my post limit yesterday, so I could only read the comments you all left for me. Today, I'm going to clear my mind, summarize things, and submit lengthy posts, Cathi, davidvs, aurelius22 I wanted to reply so badly.
 
My American friend says otherwise. He doesn't think my B-2 will be denied. In fact, I applied for B-2 and paid the application fee of approx. 26000円 ($180) yesterday after speaking with Jorgedig. The fees are non-refundable. So, I'm hoping you'll all advise me to take this route (B-2) for the time being. I could be a complete moron. But let me act young and dumb shortly because I didn't have a good childhood (big chunks were bullying at school, domestic violence at home, and depression).
 
The following are the reasons:
1) I am a recipient of a Japanese government scholarship. I was awarded a highly sought-after scholarship.
I will present this fact to the immigration officer. Japan is more advanced than the rest of the world in many ways and has a high standard of living.
He/she may believe I'm not going to blow this opportunity I worked so hard for.
 
2) Japan is the place I call home these days more than Mongolia; I'm financially and academically connected to this country, but not emotionally or socially.
If I leave this country, I will lose a lot of money, my degree, and possibly my bright future. I will also present this fact to the immigration officer.
 
3) I'm a global member of an NGO called oSTEM. I'll bring up that I'm affiliated with a US-based organization.
This organization is dedicated to LGBT STEM students and professionals. They do, however, only operate in the US, UK, and Canada.
Unfortunately, because I didn't live in the same country as them, I never felt like I belonged.
I'm going to shamelessly ask them to assist me as well.
 
4) I purposefully chose a more relaxed, less crowded embassy for the interview location. So it must have something to do with the success rate, right?
I'll put on my natural smile and compliment his/her outfit to brighten his/her mood, haha. The probability of success jumps may jump slightly. Something is better than nothing.
 
5)I'll need to make a copy of my bankbook to prove I have enough money. Because I can afford to travel, the problem is my passport was issued from ...
I mean, surprisingly I didn't find the phrase "third-world country" to be offensive. I am sorry anyways, you seemed a bit offended, aurelius22.
 
aurelius22, your story is so inspiring, and I completely understand you. I shed tears. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do.
 
katiana, Yeah I can't imagine Serbia being LGBT-friendly. I understand your pain.
 
Coco8, Japanese borders are closed to individual tourism. We don't know how long it will stay that way.
 
Knome, Thank you, what a nice story. I'm just so happy for you two.
 
AffableAndy, Thank you, buddy. I feel like being int. student of Japan has similar status as being int. student of the US. aurelius22, that's why I came off as "overly confident".
 
I'll look into Thailand. I felt blessed because of you all. You care.
