As several state are planning on decriminalizing homosexuality, the sultan isn't going to distance himself from his plans.
in April, Sultan Hassanal wrote a four-page letter to the European parliament, defending his decision to start imposing death by stoning as a punishment for gay sex, claiming convictions will be rare as it requires two men of “high moral standing and piety” to be witnesses. He asked the MEPs for “tolerance, respect and understanding” with regard to the country’s desire to preserve its traditional values and “family lineage”. Poor guy!
But what's much more interesting is that
Perez Hilton has outed the sultan's second-born son, Prince Azim.
