Rejected petition Remove Brunei from the commonwealth unless their homophobic laws are revoked.

Brunei has recently brought in laws which will allow gay citizens to be stoned to death. While there has been condemnation there has been little mention of the fact they are commonwealth members. I think these laws are an insult and this membership should be removed if they're not revoked.
