Rejected petition Suspend Brunei from the British Commonwealth until they rescind anti-gay laws

The Sultan of Brunei is introducing new laws that gay people can be killed by stoning or whipping, just for being gay. This barbaric state-sponsored policy belongs in the history books. This has no place in the 21st century and certainly no place in the British Commonwealth.

More details

South Africa was suspended from the Commonwealth due to its policy of apartheid. This is as bad, if not worse than that
