Andre Ramao's statement (MAG 038) was given on the 6th of June, 2012.
The bill to legalise same-sex marriage in the UK did not pass until 2013, and not take effect until 2014.
The episode specifically refers to Andre Ramao's marriage licence, "signed, dated, and official," confirming that he and his husband were officially married, not in a civil partnership or otherwise choosing to refer to each other as "husband".
Therefore, I conclude, either Andre or his husband was trans and so the homophobic vase that stole Andre's husband was also transphobic.
