London-based newspaper the Financial Times also said in a story on its website that it would cancel a planned event at the Dorchester Hotel and would not use any other Dorchester Collection hotels. Deutsche Bank announced in a statement that its employees would no longer use Dorchester hotels on company business. CNN has contacted the Dorchester Collection and Royal Brunei Airlines for comment. Brunei, a tiny country on the island of Borneo, first announced the brutal new anti-LGBT laws in 2014, and they came into effect on April 3. In a statement on its website, the Dorchester Collection said: "We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, we never have and we never will."
