Cornwall Pride supporters attack memory & legacy of deceased gay Cornish HIV/AIDS sufferer
HOW DARE THEY, HOW DARE SHE!
I’ve received yet another message from yet another Cornwall Pride Supporter, this time telling me what my deceased former gay partner (who died of HIV/AIDS) would have wanted.
Funny, I have his written instructions, drawn up by Nalder Solicitors in 1995 regarding continuance to challenge homophobia & discrimination towards both gay people & HIV sufferers through the Trust fund he started, The Sprocket Trust. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dio9CtPEE-U
I was one of several hundred who took a solemn oath at my former partners funeral to combat prejudice & discrimination against HIV sufferers & gay people...well I’ve continued to faithfully adhere & keep that promise for the past 14 years.
This vile Cornwall Pride supporter went on to tell me her friend claimed to have cared for my x-partner.
Funny, nobody else was there when he lost bowel control three, four, five times a night and I used to have to carry him to the bathroom when he weighed less than 5.5 stone, a mere bag of bones, to wash & bath him,...and it was a privilege & an honour to do so.
He allowed NOBODY else but me to clean his teeth, wash his hair or cut his finger & toenails, when he was too weak physically to do so himself.
Funny, nobody else was there when he cried & sobbed into my shoulder, when his kidneys failed and he was passing pure blood
Funny I don’t remember anyone there when I held him tight, when he was scared, cried & wept, telling me he did not want to die
...Or anyone else being there when I smuggled one of our dogs puppies into Truro hospital isolation room to cheer him up as he was so depressed, he was convinced he was going to die in that bleak hospital isolation room. He cheered up immediately & came out of hospital a few days later.
...and when the violence & hate was reported to the Camborne police, that bunch of uniformed homophobes stated….”What do you expect, your gay & have AIDS”….and police did nothing about the REPORTED petrol poured through the front door or the dog excrement put through our letter box!!
This is sadly STILL the abysmal & prejudicial standard of the homophobic Devon & Cornwall police when reporting homophobic incidents in 2011 some 14years later
I don’t remember anyone else being there when Andy went blind & local Cornish youth stoned him for having HIV...as police would do nothing Andy's cousin, a youth himself sorted out the homophobic Cornish youth responsible, two of whom were police officers son's, funny that.
...or when our house was under siege from the locals from the pub, throwing stones & bottles at the house. Also the graffiti homophobic & HIV hate messages on our car.
I remember well BBC reporter Justin Lee sitting in our back garden when the ombudsman victory against the homophobes of Kerrier Council was announced for 'Maladministration with malice' against my partner
Very few were supportive when gay men at the local gay club SPAT on him for daring to visit the local gay club when blind & living with HIV. Very much the same mentality then as I have encountered today amongst some members & supporters of Cornwall Pride..(including those who have made death threats against me)
…and nobody else was there the night he died in my arms.

There was only one other person beside me when I took Andy’s ashes with me to Cornwall County Hall enquiry to continue Andy’s posthumous complaint against Cornwall Council & Nigel Druce, the dispised director of Cornwall Social Services for failure to deliver statutory services to Gay HIV/AIDS sufferers in Cornwall ….AND WE WON!
There was nobody with me when I attended as an independent delegate at Health Conferences in Plymouth & Salisbury, which resulted in my securing immediate affect £50,000/year from Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Health Authority for a gay men’s health project as confirmed to me in writing by Stephen Dorrell the then Health Minister.
...or my continuing the written wishes of Andy & the objectives & aims of The Sprocket Trust when I received in writing a personal letter of thanks from Dame Nuala O'Loan DBE, chair of the British Equality & Human Rights Commission, for my written & verbal evidence requested & submitted to the UK governments enquiry into Institutional Human Rights discrimination towards gay people in 2008.
Evidence which the vile Devon & Cornwall police attempted to suppress by threatening me with prosecution unless I destroyed it...Which I of course did not destroy since I do not bow down to these homophobic neo-Nazi scum even if they are wearing a Devon & Cornwall police uniforms.
Due to the prejudicial input of police sitting in on Cornwall Pride committee, influencing & dumbing down gay Pride & de-politicising its equality message, the HIV/AIDS & gay Sprocket Trust has been excluded & ostracised by those running Cornwall Pride since 2008 in their bid to turn gay pride into little more than a 'circus', mere Pride 'Fairy Tale' of real equality & diversity!
SO HOW DARE this vile Cornwall Pride supporter have the audacity to tell me what my former partner of over seven years together felt when he died...when so many lgbt people in Cornwall, just like HER shunned him & ostracised him right up until his HIV/AIDS related death.
HOW DARE THIS...Cornwall Pride supporter DOT MARTINA ALLEN have the audacity!
