Mimi's catatonic with rage as the indefatigable one blithely dismisses homosexuality with a waved away, 'It's unnatural..'. 'No it's not!! What if one of us was gay??' she yells. Unperturbed, the woman that spawned us both retorts with equanimity, 'Then you'd be unnatural and I'd disown you'. The little git is rendered to goldfish out of water mode, ineffectually gasping for breath at this outrage. I try and contain my sniggers in a valiant effort not to further inflame the conflagration, as the war continues, all of Mim's righteous outbursts impotent against the muttered undertone of 'it's unnatural'.
The Hungarian and I have lightly moaned about the loss to womankind in Vinod, but given we've both had good men of our own, it seemed less of a tragedy. However, as a single, footloose and fancy free girl about town, I do feel rather resentful about the whole question of sexual orientation!!! It's is thoroughly unfair to have a perfectly wonderful man lost to the inane argument of 'Why are all the good men either married, gay or taken?' Penny philosophy off a tin badge, but the bloody man grows his own mega huge courgettes; bakes bread; wields power tools with the ease of a lumberjack; jhatkos with the best of Bollywood; is a GP; has a beautiful body; is prepring to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro; laughs like a loon and adores Jan!!! The only reason I'm not in the queue of women ready to kill for this, is because I love 'em both....., but Ma's right. This is wrong!!!
