Homophobic Attacks Lead Gay Couple To Split
(Edinburgh) Dreams of domestic bliss following their civil partnership have been shattered for a Scots gay couple following a series of homophobic attacks, allegedly by their neighbors.

Bryan Morgan and Richard Brown have filed to have their partnership terminated. Morgan says that the pressures from the constant attacks were just too much.

"Every time we went out young thugs would abuse us because of our sexuality and once we were set upon and attacked by three neds. It got worse after I moved to another house, in Irvine. For two months I was calling the police out about three times a night," he recently told The Mail newspaper.

"Gangs of up to 15 youths were outside shouting abuse, throwing bricks and trying to break my door down."

2. all they had to do
was catch one or two of these thugs and nail their balls to the front door, thugs still attached. As the centerpiece of a lovely tasteful seasonal floral arrangement, of course.

Bullies tend to go find easier prey run when you thrash the fuck out of them. Thugs are reality though. Sharks are in the ocean, fact of nature, and some humanoids who look like you and I are actually cavemen, and that's giving cavemen a bad name.

It's what you do about it that matters. It's a shame that we can't live in peace with the sharks, more of a shame that sharks would make someone decide to break up.

Go where there are fewer sharks, or else learn to make shark soup.

I have missed seeing you around. I hope you are well and that all is good in your life.

Please don't be such a stranger!
