6. And yet Brunei is preparing new laws to oppress LGBT and others as part of their path to TPP

The Sultan wants both profits from TPP and total control of his citizens so extreme laws including stoning LGBT to death are being instituted specifically for the TPP.
The fact that my country supports this action makes my country seem vapid and untruthful when they claim to care about Stonewall, or for that matter Seneca Falls because the women of Brunei will have no rights either.
The Sultan and his family are exempt from these laws. Of course.
