[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Thagor] Hi all
[Thagor] Well, as you can see I recently admitted I was gay and married Suuub.
[Thagor] As soon as Horvendile saw this he pointed and made fun of me!
[Thagor] Why should gays be ridiculed?
[Thagor] We are people to you know!
[Thagor] Thank you!
[Thagor] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Thagor
[Haengemie] Horvendile, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Horvendile] Hey, I ain't sure about how these things usually go.
[Horvendile] But I wasn't pointing at him, I was pointing at a ghost in the town square.
[Horvendile] I ain't got nothing against his queer marriage.
[Horvendile] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Horvendile
[Haengemie] Thagor, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Thagor] Your a liar!
[Thagor] You and a lot of others have problems with people like me because I do not like women!
[Thagor] Although Suuub is not much of a Man I am still married to him!
[Thagor] Blaming it on the Agratis is even worse, shame on you
[Thagor] SHAME SHAME SHAME!
[Thagor] witness: suuub

[Suu'ub III] Suu'ub III cries

[Suu'ub III] 6/9/00 12:57:51p Horvendile says, "Well, don't be having the honeymoon out here."
[Suu'ub III] Clear discrimination!
[Suu'ub III] He doesn't accept our kind!
[Suu'ub III] He should banished, we don't like people like that in our town!
[Suu'ub III] He should accept people for who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation!
[Suu'ub III] I LOVE YOU THAGOR, HONEY-POO
[Suu'ub III] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Suu'ub III
[Haengemie] Horvendile, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Horvendile] They was chasing each other round town.
[Horvendile] The fact that I don't want to see em consummate their marriage right in front of me aint discrimination.
[Horvendile] I wouldn't want to see either of em do it with a woman either.
[Horvendile] I said I aint got nothing against queers.
