He lived in chambers that had once belonged to his deceased partner.

What planet are you living on? Who are you trying to convince - me or yourself. Martina Navratilova
Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings and decided I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now: while there's a lower class I am in it, while there's a criminal element I am of it, and while there's a soul in prison I am not free. Eugene V. Debs
