Cornwall Pride 2011
Local Cornwall Gay Artist & Sculptor, M Lidbury approached Cornwall Gay Pride to exhibit Pagan & Male Nude Sculptures at the 2011 event
He was refused outright...and worse, the local Cornwall gay artist was subjected too hate correspondence & threats of physical violence...including from some Cornwall Pride supporters & committee members
These threats reported to Devon & Cornwall Police. We are still awaiting Cornwall police to act on the written threats.
Increasingly many lesbians & gay men who fought for gay equality in the 1980's & 90's find themselves excluded & ostracised from some gay organisations funded by institutions traditionally prejudicial against gay people
There is something most sinister about continued discrimination towards gay male art, traditional depiction of male nudity in art & against pagan iconography & art
Especially prejudice in organisations like Cornwall Pride & the Homophobic Cornwall Police
CORNWALL PRIDE 2011 claim 'diversity' is their religion, however Cornish Pagan & Traditional Male Nude Art Sculpture by local gay artist is NOT welcome at their Cornwall Gay Pride
This Prejudice & Discrimination against Gay Art funded by Cornwall Pride sponsors
-:-
Most lesbian & gay people who attend Cornwall Pride do not & will not realise they are supporting prejudice & discrimination by Cornwall Pride against local gay art, artists, history & wider gay culture
"There are those who wish to dumb-down gay history, art & culture to mere stereotypical camp pop music & commercial bar scenes
However, most gay lifestyles are deeper & reflect far broader gay culture for many gay people who find themselves excluded by Cornwall Pride and still prejudiced & discriminated against by homophobic organisations like Devon & Cornwall Constabulary"
ALL local Cornish Art sculpture featured in this video BANNED by Neil Hawke, Chairperson Cornwall 'Gay' Pride 2011.
