Chapter 25
Charles handed a business card across the desk to the judge, who picked it up and read it. “Integrity Foundation. Never heard of them.”
“For your information, Your Honor,” Charles said, again with that tone, “the Integrity Foundation was established to defend gay men and women from all manner of bigots, including yourself. The Foundation has in excess of ten million dollars at its disposal, and there’s more where that came from. That amount is more than enough to pursue this case through the courts for the next twenty years, if need be. Do you really think your county is going to back you with that kind of resources? And I should add, the Foundation has never—I repeat, never—lost one of these type cases.”
“Are you daring to threaten me in my own chambers, Counselor?” the judge said, getting more than a little bit red in the face.
