In 1985, I took back-to-back one week vacations to Ibiza (my first visit) and Mykonos (my second). Although our paths didn't frequently cross, I was meeting friends in Mykonos while traveling solo to Ibiza, which by that time was already a playground for the wealthy. Every day, I’d take the trek out to the gay beach, Es Cavallet, which (like most gay beaches when it was necessary to hide our gayness from the world) required a long walk from the parking area through scrub growth in order toreach the Mediterranean. I met Freddy Mercury's gay bodyguard and his younger boyfriend during my time there, where I proceeded to take several photos of them (including one not appearing here with the bodyguard face down, butt uncovered, showing his beefy cheeks. I believe that, like Freddy, he may have passed away due to AIDS.
