Brunei says it will not enforce gay sex death penalty after backlash

Brunei’s Sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah, has extended a moratorium on the death penalty to incoming legislation on punishments for gay sex, after a global backlash led by celebrities such as George Clooney and Elton John.

Love shouldn't be illegal in the first place!!!!!

The gammon can stop crying now

So glad it took people telling them it was bad for them to pack it in. Well done guys massive pat on the back.

So happy to hear this!

Ay

'Not enforcing' is not enough. Remove the law!

JONATHAN_RILE Indeed but the word moratorium remains. Needs to be revoked permanently.

No thanks to many on the Left who only passed a cursory disapproval. Islamic homophobia seems to be acceptable to them.

The terrible law is still on the books. Keep the pressure on.

The boycotting is working.

Protest works!

To which the world says: 'GTFOH'. Bigots AND cowards.

Blasphemy!

Now that's progress. What next, Brunei?
