Being Christian is a choice, and in Brunei it appears to be a bad one... in addition to the other bad choice on which this thread is focused.

LOL - he's going to boycott The Dorchester Collection of hotels.

I somehow don't think most people could ever erven afford to stay at any of these hotels in the first place or even eat their, indeed the Dorchester in London has 3 Michellin Stars.

The west thinks the whole world is its playground. The big issue here is an American gay couple can't go to Brunei and Instagram themselves french kissing on a train. That is the extent to which we care about human rights.

I worked in D.C in a LOT of law firms.

MANY women from all over the country come to D.C to work in these law forms with 1 SINGLE GOAL in mind. FIND AND MARRY RICH LAWYER.

I women DIDN'T care, what do they spend BILLIONS of dollar a year trying to "look attractive" if NOT to get the attention of men?

Blouses NOT buttoned up on purpose to show cleavage, very short skirts, push up bras and enough make up to HIDE any facial imperfections, etc".

"WOMEN would cease to do much of anything if there were no men."

It goes BOTH ways!

Oh no. Looks like that is going to end the thriving tourist industry that is Brunei.

Hehe, I read they were already having big problems attracting tourists, I suppose that will get much worse now.

Trump would have been stoned to death eight or nine times if he lived there for his adulteries. Here in the USA, you're elected President of the county, not stoned.

The same category?? You seemed to somehow missed the REASON these are being lumped together.I assigned no category, that is another label of yours. Not mine. How disingenuous of you.

People like you who encourage labeling people due to a feeling they experience need to back off. It's disingeous and abusive.

Shame on YOU.

You are not a liar because you feel like telling a lie. You are not a thief because you feel like stealing something. You are not a homosexual because you feel like engaging in a homosexual act. You are not a murderer because you feel like killing someone.

We are not defined by our feelings, PERIOD. Or we'd all be in big doo doo. We are defined by our ACTIONS.
Let's add a few more:
I am not on-board with labeling someone as “A necrophilliac” due to a feeling
I am not on-board with labeling someone as "incestous" due to a feeling

If you have a sexual feeling towards someone raping you, it doesn't define you as "enjoying it, or wanting it" nor "being attracted to them."
Our genitals are not reliable sources to define our personhood. And no one better be defining our personhood for us.
