It’s lovely to read such a great account of the two men. Here’s hoping I can help the “Google effect” on Johan van Vloten:
“Do you know, if you Google Johan’s name, what comes up is not this prudent, loving, faithful companion. What comes up is (the) attack. I regard that as sad and offensive. I hope that one day if his name is Googled what will come up is his example of human kindness, support, intelligence and goodness to everyone.”
Interesting take on getting married himself.
Which prompts the question: if it were legal, would he and van Vloten marry? The answer is a small surprise. While he supports gay marriage, he wonders if it would be wise to tamper with a partnership that has withstood the test of so many years.
“We possibly would not,” he says. “We have gone through long years and we have, I think, a wonderful relationship. You’d have to be worried about [losing] the magic.”
