Brunei's LGBT Community Flees New Stoning Laws ☪️
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2019-04-08

Many in Brunei's LGBT community considered fleeing in 2013 when it said it would adopt strict Islamic laws, including death by stoning for gay sex. Some stayed on hoping it would never come to pass. A young gay man in Brunei spoke to CNN over the phone and said "It's really scary. But, it was worse than I thought, because of the stoning. It made me feel that if that comes to reality, I might as well just leave." Activists and governments around the world are now urging Brunei to reverse its decision but the prime minister's office released a statement in defence of its new laws.
