A Horse Is a Horse
British police have charged an Oxford University student with public disorder for making "homophobic comments" about a police horse. Sam Brown came out of a pub early one morning and encountered two mounted officers. He asked one of the officers, "How do you feel about your horse being gay." The officers then arrested him. He spent the night in jail and faces a fine. "It was way over the top—as far as I?fm aware, horses aren?ft that sensitive," said Brown.
