My CL is a Honduran gay man fleeing persecution as LGBT and also because of a parallel intrafamily feud that resulted in two murders and crosses over into the LGBT claim. The LGBT persecution was the prominent claim. IJ Miller denied the claim for the following reasons:

• Honduran homosexual men do not constitute a PSG
• Amorphous
• Not particular
• Not defined
• Too diffuse
• No social distinction within Honduran society
