Of course I don't think gay identity should be aligned with self hatred, however, it does seem to be, a lot of the time. At least half of the most homopohobic people I have known throughout life, both at school and at work, have came out as gay (or bi..either way, they have openly had a same sex partner once they chilled out on the hatred) themselves a few years later. So I guess its kind of..experience that makes me think this. Seems to be fairly common, though I guess, my experience is not universal and could very well be very different in a country like that where its actually a crime to be gay.

George Clooney is planning to boycott Brunei owned hotels after the country introduced new laws that would see people whipped and stoned to death for same-sex activity.
In an op-ed for Deadline, Clooney said he and others have boycotted hotels owned by the Brunei Investment Agency in the past for the country’s anti-LGBT laws, but said the focus had “died down” in recent years in the face of other issues.

However, he has called on people across the world to again boycott hotels owned by the group after Brunei introduced its new anti-LGBT laws this week.
Clooney said that he has stayed in hotels owned by the group in the past as he was not aware at the time who owned them.
George Clooney: ‘Are we really going to help pay for these human rights violations?’
The actor has now named nine hotels owned by the group and said he would not be staying in them again.
“Every single time we stay at or take meetings at or dine at any of these nine hotels we are putting money directly into the pockets of men who choose to stone and whip to death their own citizens for being gay or accused of adultery,” Clooney said.

UK STA travel stated yesterday

refunding any booked flights.

Good

From reading up on this, it seems Brunei is struggling financially and is making these moves to encourage muslim tourism .... go figure

Yes ideal for Muslims

It's not ideal for anyone, Arista, it's disgusting to say that.

At least one of them is not The Castle Hotel.:joker:

Being serious though this is sickening, me and my Mom were in shock when we read about this initially, how people still think like this but then would probably blame a woman for being raped is barbaric imo.

The Brunei leaders and anybody that supports that regime should be a shamed of themselves in my view.

No it is not
Strict Muslims hate Gays
and this nation wants them put to death
like Saudi Arabia.

Why would you be in shock, lots of islamic countries are the same

The Dorchester
Park Lane London has had LGBT Protesters
invading the People sitting for dinner.
The Punk had a Loud Hailer
Security staff had to force them out

the more protests the better.

That Hotel Employs Gay Folks
Picking on Staff - Stinks,

does it stink more than people being murdered?

Arista I’m not being funny but what is your opinion on this law if I may ask? Are you for or against the legalisation of imprisoning, torturing and gay people in Brunei?

Its Wrong
But I believe every nation has a Sovereign Right
for what they want as their Law.

Wow. In 2019.

You are Aware Saudi Arabia
does the same

Yes but this thread is about Brunel no?

Yes but you say its 2019 - As if we
are all in a Disney Type World or something?

I say loads of nations Ban Gays
It been like that for years
And some Murder them
There was loads of Nations
on a World map on CNN Talk HD
last week.

Because I expect countries to progress as they get older, not regress into animals.

I don't know. Trump, Brexit, etc... Any country can back slide and we should never be complacent.

I support all the protests. Laws like this have no place in any country, ever.
