Homosexuality is illegal in Brunei and can be punished with death by stoning. OutRight Action International has described Brunei as "the country that has the most worrisome state of rights for LGBT people in Southeast Asia." LGBT Bruneians feel the need to remain very discreet about their sexual orientation.[2]The Brunei Project, established in 2015, seeks to promote human rights, including religious freedom, free speech and LGBT rights, in Brunei through social media. The group organised a private community event in 2016, celebrating Brunei's first International Day Against Homophobia event.[2] Legality of same-sex sexual activityPrior to 2014, homosexuality was illegal and punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment, regardless of whether the act was done in private and consensual. In 2014, Brunei announced it will begin imposing Sharia law. Homosexuality is punishable with death by stoning under Sharia law.[2][5] It is scheduled to be enacted on April 3, 2019.[3] American actor George Clooney wrote an open letter calling for the boycott of the Sultan of Brunei’s hotels, including The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air.[4][5] When the move to Sharia Law was announced, the United Nations urged Brunei to review its laws in this area, which has been described by many media outlets as "medieval", "uncivilized" and "a return to the Stone Age".[6][7] Their implementation was delayed until April 2019, after the Sultan declared that these laws should be regarded as "special guidance" from God.[3] LGBT people, as well as the Christian and Buddhist minorities, have been advised by international human rights activists to remain discreet in the country. Anyone caught "tarnishing the image of Islam" is heavily punished.[7] On 11 March 2015, a civil servant was fined $1000 Brunei dollars under the Syariah Penal Code Order for cross-dressing.[8][9] Living conditionsThe LGBT community in Brunei is very hidden and secret. Bruneian society tends to associate homosexuality with "effeminate men".[15] In 2011, academics at the University of Brunei made a formal study of gay people in Brunei. The study illustrated how gay people in Brunei chose to remain silent and discreet about their sexual orientation. The researchers were only able to find 29 LGBT respondents, some of whom were foreigners.[10] Human rights reports2017 United States Department of State reportIn 2017, the United States Department of State reported the following, concerning the status of LGBT rights in Brunei: Acts of Violence, Discrimination, and Other Abuses Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Summary table
