CULTURE
JOHN IS A REALLY GREAT GUY - John Legend has joined the widespread boycott against the Beverly Hills Hotel launched by Hollywood last spring. The protest is in response to Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, owner of the hotel chain, unveiling Sharia law in Brunei that allows for the stoning, amputation or flogging of those(mostly LBGT and women) found guilty of adultery or homosexuality. We wish more people stood up for the rights of mistreated others.
