The four friends did as they were told. School, athletics, social events, clubs and up holding the family name were made priorities. Married, college graduates and fathers the four became. Tim, Patrick, Robert and Kyle were viewed as successful to all especially their families. Prestigious and privileged were their lives. Politics was pursued by the four men entering their late twenties and they were supported strongly by their southern Republican conservative constituency. Their family names served them well as none of them ever suffered a loss in an election on their rise in the political arena. The men were right wingers and supported big business, helping to increase the divide between rich and poor in their communities. Country clubs, servants and old southern living was the lifestyle they were raised on and perpetuated to their personal populous. Their concern and function in politics was only to preserve the way of life for them and those of their kind, the southern Caucasian wealthy. Southern Baptist Luke warm Christians, they held love in their hearts for only those like them. Devout Christians the elders of their families proclaimed to be but they wouldn’t allow a man of color into their home to do anything more than serve them. They were not viewed as equal. Tim, Patrick, Robert and Kyle were part of a secret society and often made their way from their small town in Arkansas to Orlando Florida for clandestine meetings. Covert conversations and undisclosed information and activity occurred unknown even to their families and especially their constituents. The four men traveled together quarterly to the southern city to conduct furtive surreptitious seminars at their favorite resort. Curious but unfazed their wives remained over the years; they weren’t terribly concerned as long as they were provided for and their social status was up held. Appearances were important. Now in their mid forties holding seats in the senate and congress, governor and lieutenant governor the men continued to promote their views and champion their people. The four were now more visible and becoming enemies of liberals, minorities, women’s rights groups and gays everywhere because of their politics and boarder line offensive statements through the years. Their private resort where they held their “meetings” was actually the largest resort in the world. The largest gay resort! The Parliament House. They were recognized on television by a young man they had group sex with twelve years earlier who passed the information on to his activist boyfriend. A plan was made to photograph the men on their next dive into debauchery. Many photos were taken of the men partying, having cocktails with young hustlers and having sex with the other guest at the resort. “Those hypocritical queens! I could tell by the way he switched his little ass on stage that he was family. I can’t wait to get these photos to the papers.” Chance Coward squealed from behind the camera lens as he snapped compromising photos of the four politicians. Unfortunately none of the four men could face up to the shame they caused their families or themselves so they each took their own lives within days of the breaking news. A poisonous punch was made and consumed by all four one windy Wednesday afternoon. Hypocritical insincerity can sometimes kill.
