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! Roll Eyes

"Respect my right to kill people, you intolerant bastards!"
NRA in a nutshell as well.

I honestly wonder what is the Sultan's motivation, aside of being a known psychopath. It's not like he's under any real pressure to enact this.

It's the whole GOP in a nutshell. "Respect our right to abuse, exploit and control other human beings, but don't you dare try to make us treat other people with respect."

Maybe just being a psychopath and he actually is "convinced" this is the right thing to do. Disgraceful one way or the other, he should be sanctioned.

Maybe he is a very devout Muslim and he just wanted to apply pressure on his gay son.

I'm glad that many companies have distanced themselves from him or even ended economic collaborations, for example Virgin Australia, which used to have a staff deal with Royal Brunei including discounted tickets leisure travel.

Some celebrities, such as George Clooney, Ellen DeGeneres, and Elton John, have also called for boycotts of hotels that are in Hassanal's possession, which is a very wonderful gesture.
