A plaintiff in a civil suit can allege anything they want, but that doesn't mean they're being 100% truthful.

What do you mean!? Accusation = truth. Where did you go to school?

No it doesn't. Here, let me demonstrate:

I'm accusing you of showing up to my house and kissing my dog (the gay one, not the straight one.)

There. Is that the truth? According to you it must be, because

Accusation = truth

So because it's true, I demand you restore my dog's honor by gay marrying him.

And that's literally how it works in the US. You can make any allegation you want when filing a civil suit and a judge must decide the validity of your claims. Teixiera has given his side of the story when he filed suit; that's all we can say for certain at this point. He could be 100% right, he could be bending the truth a little bit, or he could be completely lying about the whole thing- we don't currently have any more information than that.

I think you may have missed the sarcasm there

Poe's Law is real, lol.

The worst part is I sat there reading your comment for fifteen minutes thinking, "He can't be that stupid, can he?" And then I remembered that Trump supporters exist.

And then I remembered that Trump ~~supporters exist.~~ was elected President, impeached twice, served a full 4 years, staged a coup after he lost to try and forcibly overthrow the government, tried to have his VP hung by the neck, charged with I can't even keep track of how many crimes, convicted on 34 separate felony counts of falsified business records, but somehow is still on the ballot for re-election.

FTFY. Although I feel like I barely scratched the surface LOL
