George Clooney's 'warning shot' to Brunei neighbours misfires among LGBT+ activists
KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - Oscar-winning actor George Clooney was criticised by LGBT+ activists on Tuesday (May 14) after he called a boycott of luxury hotels owned by Brunei a "warning shot" to Indonesia and Malaysia should they consider introducing similar anti-gay laws.
Mr Clooney in late March led calls for a boycott of nine hotels owned by Brunei because of plans by the miniature South-east Asian country to impose the death penalty - including by stoning - for gay sex or adultery as it rolled out further Islamic laws.
Following a global outcry, the sultan of the oil-rich state last week said the death penalty would not be imposed.
Appearing on American talk exhibit "Ellen", the Ocean's Eleven actor discussed the boycott and economic pressure that followed after the announcement of the new laws and the U-turn.
"It's not fixed yet but it's a huge step forward after this giant leap backwards," Mr Clooney last Friday (May 10) told the show's host Ellen DeGeneres, who also publicly backed the boycott.
"It sends a warning shot over to countries like Indonesia and Malaysia - who are als

In the January issue of Esquire U.K., year-old Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney addresses accusations that he’s a closeted homosexual. It all started, he told the magazine, when he responded to a headline that scan, “George Clooney is Gay-Gay-Gay.” His response? “I’m gay-gay, the third one’s pushing it.”
Fire was added to the speculation in , when ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis told People that she and Clooney had a “father-daughter” relationship, saying that their relationship ended because of their “personal needs.” Hmmm …
In the Esquire interview, he said “[I’m] not going [to deny it], because that’s flat out insulting to the homosexual community.” The statement mirrored a similar one he gave to The Advocate last year:
“I think it’s hilarious, but the last thing you’ll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, ‘These are lies!'” he said. “That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community. I’m not going to let anyone make it seem enjoy being gay is a bad thing. My intimate life is private, an
What was the deal with Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney?
I was working on the set of "The Fighter" as an assistant to the caterer's dishwasher when I accidentally bumped into Walhberg while carrying trays of unfinished meal. The trays and nourishment went everywhere and I was appalled - I was a little tipsy from the pruno one of the workers, an ex-con, had given me. Mark helped me off the floor. "Mr. Wahlberg, I am so, so sorry for the mess that I've made.". "Oh, it's okay, are you all right, dude?", he asked. He had just come from session with his personal trainer, and was headed to his trailer for a speedy shower. He saw that some of the nourishment had gotten all over my tank top. "You can't work like that - come with me to my trailer and we'll get you all cleaned up.". He had a smile on his face that seemed a bit off, but hey, it was Mark Walhberg, and he was organism nice to me. "Ok, sir, but I will have to hurry help to the catering tent.". We walked to his trailer, which was about twenty minutes from the gym. He nodded to his bodyguards, two giant black guys, who nodded, then walked away. We went into the trailer, which was huge and very nice. "You travel into the bathroom and shower and I'll
George Clooney has a friendly interview in the fresh issue of The Advocate. I’m guessing that he did this before the Oscars, which means that George was probably in the mind-set of “This will be published after I win my second Oscar, so I requirement to sound like I’ve just been crowned The King of Hollywood.” That’s not fair, though. He’s only slightly preachy in this piece. The reason behind the interview is interesting &#; he’s participating in a one-night-only reading of Dustin Lance Black’s play 8, which is “adapted from transcripts of California’s historic Proposition 8 trial.” Clooney is all about gay rights! And he doesn’t care if you think he’s homosexual, either. Well… he probably does care. But he doesn’t want you to know he cares. You can read the whole piece here, and here are some highlights:
On why he&#;s fighting for marriage equality: It’s always been this albatross that stood out to me as the final leg of the civil rights movement. It really came to a head during the elections, when it was used as a wedge issue, and it was a very effective tool to keep the Republicans in office and to avoid talking about other issues. Well before Prop. 8, I’ve made the point that ev
