    I'm sure it will be a fair trial. They say they have enough evidence :rolle:

    It's impossible for it to be a fair trial because they have done nothing wrong.

    I wonder how they will even present the case.

    Having evidence of the act would constitute having pictures or video of two men having sex, which means they would be in possession of gay pornography, which violates the law.

    Ugh. Even ignoring how fucked up the law even existing in the first place is, that just makes no sense.
