As several state are planning on decriminalizing homosexuality, the sultan isn't going to distance himself from his plans.
in April, Sultan Hassanal wrote a four-page letter to the European parliament, defending his decision to start imposing death by stoning as a punishment for gay sex, claiming convictions will be rare as it requires two men of “high moral standing and piety” to be witnesses. He asked the MEPs for “tolerance, respect and understanding” with regard to the country’s desire to preserve its traditional values and “family lineage”. Poor guy! 
"Respect my right to kill people, you intolerant bastards!"
NRA in a nutshell as well.
