Within a space of an hour Mark and Callum had told me a fair bit about them. Mark ran away from home at 16 because of his mother who could not come to terms with his sexuality. He had a series of relationships in his late teens and early twenties, some casual, others short term. One of them turned abusive. Mark stopped eating. He Àed to a different part of the country to start a new life. That’s when he met Callum and got a job. A few months on, Mark resigned. He was bullied at work, and then assaulted by their neighbour. His face was still bruised after the assault and his arm in heavy bandage. They want to move.
