(CNN)Brunei has enacted strict new laws that make gay sex punishable by stoning to death, prompting widespread condemnation.
But it is not the only country where people are persecuted for being gay.
According to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) report on state-sponsored homophobia, released last month, six United Nations member states imposed the death penalty on consensual same-sex sexual acts. Brunei now brings that count to seven.
