Mr Williams, a fellow Oxford English Literature graduate, said the officer called for back-up and two squad cars appeared.

He had to call for backup? I guess the horse wasn't the only one gay.

Ang Lee tried to cast the horse in his movie. Big and Rich declined to remix a certain song for same.

I can't imagine visiting Europe in the forseeable future. I'd get thrown in jail within minutes.

[Pessimist]

Why didn't they just charge him with drunk and disorderly?

[Gay State Conservative]

Is this a Monty Python skit? Is it Graham Chapman or John Cleese playing the police constable?

[steelcurtain]

Gay? Am not!

[moasicwolf]

Being somewhat intoxicated and confused, maybe he thought the horse was the one in "Brokeback Mountain".

[HairOfTheDog]

Methinks the officers protesteth too much :~D

[delphirogatio]

Next we'll hear that the horse has had to consult a pet psychologist to deal with the resulting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
