The Sultan of Brunei announced the coming implementation of Sharia Law in his land against the decadent influence of "globalization". As America and Europe like policing the world, both are none too cool about this.
Meanwhile in Beverly Hills, long known for its inclusivity and diversity, the famed Beverly Hills Hotel, owned by - ta-daa - Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, is being protested by the homophilic Motion Pictures Television Fund, Feminist Majority, and outright pinko group LA Gay & Lesbian Center to, get this, "convey our deep concern about laws in Brunei that call for violent punishment...against those engaging in same-sex activity and extramarital sexual relations, and those committing adultery."
In other words, their stock and trade.
According to an anonymous source in The New York Times it is hoped and expected the Sultan's insult to Western mores will pressure A-listers and other fancy people to boycott the fancy hotel. You couldn't make this %@$# up!
Interesting note: Brunei has not performed a single execution since 1957! United States of America, on the other hand, kills black men left and right.
