Rejected petition Suspend Brunei from Commonwealth until gay relations isn't a criminal offence

Brunei have recently legalised the prosecution of gay relations, with punishments as high as stoning to death. The UK supports and legalised gay marriage for a reason. Revoking Brunei's Commonwealth status is a clear message that the UK does not relate with nations who allow hate crimes being legal.
