He put this up on his personal blog 2 days ago while talking about the Ugandan Anti-Gay rights bill in Uganda that punishes Homosexuality with Life imprisonment. Hear him -
"I have spoken out against discrimination on many occasions, from supporting equal marriage to challenging Malaysia’s leaders on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s trial. Next week I am going to meet government leaders from countries including Nigeria to discuss issues such as gay rights and try to encourage progress.
We want to work with governments around the world – in countries we do and don’t operate in - to change attitudes for the better. Everyone should speak out to ensure people are free to love whoever they want. Those politicians passing draconian laws against gay people may discover their own children were born gay. Would they really want to see them locked up for life? Or tortured? We need love and understanding not punishment".
