In Protest of Brunei’s Brutal Ruling, Elton John Joins George Clooney’s Hotel Boycott

In protest of Brunei’s plans to punish gay sex and adultery via stoning, Elton John joins George Clooney’s move to boycott nine luxury hotels with direct links to the Asian monarchy.

He also listed down the nine hotels.
