Brian trusts my judgement - I was right about Max, you see, and told him you were just as nice. Just as healthily broad-minded. ’ ‘I can understand your caution,’ I replied, mollified but unconvinced. ’ ‘When Brian says ‘dismantle’, that means no clothes. We like to be naked around the house - always have done, and can’t be bothered with guests who are uncomfortable with that. Der and Dra have odd habits. We have an unusual house-plan, by European standards that is, and an outlook on life which is so much more liberal than anyone else we have ever met, that I wonder sometimes whether we have made a mistake.
I had designed, built, furnished and decorated it. It looked like I felt - gutted. I turned to my neighbours. ‘How could this have happened? I’m always so careful. I haven’t been here for two weeks. There was no fire left in the stove, there’s no fuel anywhere near…’ They shook their heads, wordless, helpless. I raced across the courtyard to the studio, a twin of the cottage. It looked intact until I reached the door, which had been smashed open with my axe, now lying on the grass. Inside was chaos.
I am not evil. I am not perverted. I will not burn forever on the fires of hell. These are the lies of bigots who seek to control others through fear. My worth does not reside in my sexual orientation, but in my thoughts and actions. ’ The rest of the day was like old times. A burden had been lifted, guilt was gone, and we relaxed in our friendship. Hank was interested in my plans for the gallery and they were both thrilled that Max’s vision was to be continued, at least for a time. I shared their excitement about a proposed summer cruise around the Pacific Islands.
