Here are a few more artists of the male form that the homophobes at Intercom Trust in Devon are likely to target with their self-loathing of artistic expression of homocentric gay sexuality & the male form.

Guernsey Age of Gay Consent to 16yrs
Guernsey politicians have today agreed to lower the age of consent for gay men to 16.
They voted unanimously today to equalise the law and bring it into line with the law for heterosexuals and lesbians.

(Above painting by Peter Colstee)
Previously, the Guernsey gay age of consent was 18.
Home minister Geoff Mahy is reported as having said "No modern government should support legislation that allows discrimination because of age, race, sex or sexual orientation.
"These are not choices that people make, but are part of who they are."
The British Crown Dependency also agreed to lift the ban on more than two gay men having sex at the same time.
Ironically, however, Devon & Cornwall Constabulary in recent years on the UK mainland, despite an equal age of gay male consent being 16yrs, Cornwall police have objected too & adversely interfered with gay relationships where the younger party has been 27yrs old with a partner in his 40’s, and again with a 23yr old with a partner in his 40’s.
Unfortunately the homophobic attitudes & practises within the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary remain very much protected & harboured by senior police officers still in 2010.

Devon Cornwall Police Chief Constable Stephen Otter ACPO Equality & Diversity
This is an insight into the sinister dark side of homophobic thinking of Cornwall Constabulary police abuse practises & protected homophobic values in the United Kingdom....still in 2010
Devon & Cornwall Constabulary have repeatedly refused to answer Freedom of Information Act requests (search: Cornwall Police Homophobia) regarding protected practises of homophobic conduct of named & identified Cornwall police officers. Some investigated (partly) by the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) but are still under the command of Chief Constable Stephen OTTER.
Chief Constable Stephen OTTER is in 'theory' the ACPO lead for ALL the UK police forces on 'Equality & Diversity'. Whilst these KNOWN homophobic police are still serving officers...gay people are simply not SAFE!
Clearly Chief Constable Stephen OTTER & those BNP sympathising Neo-Nazi homophobic police thugs in Cornwall have clearly never heard of the Human Rights Act Article allowing the Freedom of Expression (which includes Art) & the Human Rights Act Article which in conjunction with another HR Act allows for the Freedom from discrimination & prejudice, (includes sexuality).
The artist had legitimately sold hundreds of legal & lawful male nude paintings via a website. None that were sold were depicted more aroused than Michelangelo's David. The homophobic Police destroyed the artist business in the process of their vendetta which has now exceeded six years in duration.
Cornwall police are however, not above a little artwork of their own, colouring in pink an image of a police officer on a poster displayed at Camborne Police station & labelling it GAY. Demonstrating the juvenile canteen culture which prevails at Camborne police station, but what can one expect at the HQ base of Inspector Mark BOLT, who felt that (and Insp BOLT said so in writing) that a person SCREAMING homophobic insults in public was NOT harrasement of a gay person ...mind you, homophobe Inspector Mark BOLT also believes it is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE for the same person to spread rumour that a gay person has HIV/AIDS when they could prove that they did not with a letter from the medical GU Clinic. Given his attitude against gays he must be due a promotion soon!
It is doubtful (given Cornwall police contempt for home office guidelines ie: Treluswell entrapement by PC Pascoe) that Cornwall police have yet to accept that homosexuality has been decriminalised for over 40yrs & that there is an equal age of homosexual consent at 16yrs (since 2001). Lord knows some of us informed gays remember the police cock-up into the investigation of Richard Perry, who died after assault by a nieghbour, Nr Newquay. Cornwall police lost the evidence & not fogetting the brutal murder of Terrence Sweet in Plymouth & the contempt shown by Cornwall police officers to LGBT community concerns at the time. Then there was the homophobic assault on a disabled person in Helston, the homophobic assailant went on to MURDER a gay person in Wales.
Most Cornwall police officers I can name, identify & have personally encountered in Cornwall, are quite happy to collude in covering up the homophobic misconduct of their anti-gay police colleagues.
NB:-
*The UK Home Office released a report in 2005 stating HOMOPHOBIA was ENDEMIC throughout the UK police forces
*The Met police released a report in 2007 into police investigations of murders of gay persons, stating police homophobia hampered investigations
*In Cornwall, police homophobic attitudes & practises are common place and seemingly NORMAL procedure when dealing with gay persons (FIA : In the year leading up to March 2008 over 1,200+ complaints were recorded against police officers & staff in the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary. This is the 3rd highest level of complaints against police out of the 43 UK police forces. The IPCC only knew of 933 of the complaints!)
Cornwall has the highest level of LGBT suicides & attempted suicides in the South west...some with direct police involvement

2010 CORNWALL PRIDE : LGBT Gay LIFE...and DEATH
The SPROCKET Trust (est. 1995)
Cornwall's oldest LGBT & HIV/AIDS campaign & awareness group
created by Cornish man Andrew Smith (1967-96)
2010 CORNWALL PRIDE : LGBT Gay LIFE...and DEATH
...The SPROCKET Trust (est. 1995) ...is on Facebook
(A Discretionary Trust)
This video only scratches the surface of numerous multiple homophobic incidents & hate crimes over many years of institutional prejudice towards gay persons in Cornwall, UK...still in 2010.
The video touches upon the surface of efforts of some to challenge & combat protected homophobia & HIV/AIDS prejudice within Cornwall's deeply prejudicial authorities & local Constabulary.
...information about Cornwall's homophobic attitudes within the police & other authorities that some would prefer others were kept ignorant about.
Violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people are actions which may occur either at the hands of individuals or groups, or as part of governmental enforcement of laws in particular by police targeting people who are perceived to violate heteronormative rules and who contravene perceived protocols of gender and sexual roles. People who are simply perceived to be LGBTQ may also be targeted.
A hate crime is when individuals become victimized because of their race, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation (Conklin, 1992)(CSVR). Hate crimes against LGBTQ people often occur because the perpetrators are homophobic. The attacks can also be blamed on society & culture itself. The attitudes & practice within police forces remain predominately anti-gay.
A variety of religious groups as well as proponents of extremist political ideologies condemn homosexuality and relate it to being weak, ill, feminine, and morally wrong. Violence targeted at people because of their perceived sexuality can be economic, psychological and physical including murder. These actions may be caused by cultural, religious, or political mores and biases.
In 2005 the UK Government Home Office released a report stating Homophobia was ENDEMIC throughout the UK police forces.
2007: Metropolitan Police review
In July 2004 an independent inquiry into police procedures carried out by the independent Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Advisory Group for the Metropolitan Police was announced.
In May 2007 the report for the independent review was released; it had examined how detectives had handled 10 murders of gay men or transsexuals. The report found that some police inquiries were hampered by lack of knowledge, reliance on unfounded stereotypes and personal prejudices; these problems were mirrored and exacerbated by media coverage. The review recognised that Scotland Yard's work with the gay, lesbian and transsexual communities and its investigative processes had improved significantly since the 1990s, but warned that more radical steps were needed.
Every week, the Gay Police Association (GPA) collates startling examples of police homophobia. It chairman, Paul Cahill – himself a distinguished police officer who has served as a detective and on armed response units – explains, “There are so many examples. We were just contacted by a gay officer who was stripped naked, handcuffed to a chair, and attacked with a truncheon while his fellow officers yelled that he was a ‘faggot’ and a ‘queer.’ We get lots of calls from officers who say that after they came out, their colleagues refused to eat with them in the canteen, sit in the police car with them on a shift, or go out on patrol with them. This hasn’t been declining – it’s actually increased in the past year.” That's the GPA stance!
Unfortunately, more provincial police forces like that of the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary, have learned nothing from repeated incidents & reporting of homophobia within the police force. Despite ‘lip service’ to equality & diversity issues, Devon & Cornwall Constabulary continue to cover for those police officers & police staff whose homophobic & anti-gay attitudes & practices have a adverse & detrimental impact & affect upon handling of incidents involving gay persons.
To try to get around this problem the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary has simply thrown money at such events as Cornwall PRIDE, and sort consultation with those who wish to appease the police, but without actually tackling the continued problem of multiple reported incidents of police misconduct & failure of duty of care, criminality & blatant homophobic prejudice carried out by named & identified police officers & staff.
(see video below:- many older lgbt persons who fought for gay equality & HIV/AIDS awareness & patient care in the 1980's & 1990's are actively excluded from Cornwall PRIDE...which has become a 'circus')
CLASSICAL HISTORY:- "Bread and circuses" (from Latin: 'panem et circenses') a metaphor for a simplistic means of appeasement of the ‘plebs’, classical Roman poet Juvenal (circa 100 AD ).
In politics, used to describe creation of public approval, through mere satisfaction of immediate, shallow requirements of a populace.
Roman politicians devised a cheap plan in 140 B.C. to win votes of the poor & ill educated, by giving out cheap food and providing circuses.
History repeats itself
...AND LET US NOT FORGET EXACTLY WHAT THE POLICE ARE REALLY LIKE....(SEE video below)

2010 CORNWALL PRIDE : Gay LIFE....and DEATH
2010 CORNWALL PRIDE : Gay LIFE....and DEATH
The SPROCKET Trust (est. 1995)
Cornwall's oldest LGBT & HIV/AIDS campaign & awareness group
created by Cornish man Andrew Smith (1967-96)
...The SPROCKET Trust (est. 1995) ...is on Facebook
(A Discretionary Trust)
This video only scratches the surface of numerous multiple homophobic incidents & hate crimes over many years of institutional prejudice towards gay persons in Cornwall, UK...still continuing in 2010.
The video touches upon the surface of efforts of some to challenge & combat protected homophobia & HIV/AIDS prejudice within Cornwall's deeply prejudicial authorities & local Constabulary.
...information about Cornwall's homophobic attitudes within the police & other authorities that some would prefer others were kept ignorant about.
CLASSICAL HISTORY:- "Bread and circuses" (from Latin: 'panem et circenses') a metaphor for a simplistic means of appeasement of the ‘plebs’, classical Roman poet Juvenal (circa 100 AD ).
In politics, used to describe creation of public approval, through mere satisfaction of immediate, shallow requirements of a populace.
Roman politicians devised a cheap plan in 140 B.C. to win votes of the poor & ill educated, by giving out cheap food and providing circuses.
