I am so sorry. This might be a stupid question already thought of and answered but does she have other family or friends that would take her in for a while? Is there an emergency housing program there? Is she in school? If so, can they help? What is it like generally for LGBTQ community in Romania? I will try a search also but only post back if I find something.

It's possible, I would guess, there simply are no LGBTQ services available in Romania. I just don't know. Here's a link to a Wikipedia listing, in alphabetical order, of crisis lines in various countries. If you scroll down, you'll find Romania. Calling a crisis line for help may be at least one possible step your friend could take:

she has family who lives in outside the countnry but she dont want to go to them.

but she dont want to go them.
also with the corona virus is a problem to get out of the country anytime soon.

she is still in school but i think she is about to graduate soon.
maybe friends can help. but its a big maybe.
cuse as far as i know romania is very conservative so the way they treat LGBTQ people is not really great.

You are right about Romania being conservative. They have legalized same sex adult relationships but it is a very conservative place. When I look, I see there are LGBTQ groups (looks like a facebook group for one) and activists. She may do best contacting those organizations/people. They may be able to help her find a safe place to go.
If she trusts a counselor or teacher at school, she could talk with them.
I hope your friend gets the support she needs---glad she has you to talk with.
