All the Cornish sculptures featured here and created by Malcolm Lidbury in Cornwall (UK) are banned from display and/or exhibition at Cornwall 'gay' Pride 2011 by Neil Hawke, chairperson.

 

The gay artist has received hate mail & even death threats from some members of the Cornwall Pride committee & their supporters. These were reported to police…who did nothing but threaten & intimidate the complaintent.

 

There is a sinister problem in Cornwall (UK) in that some LGBT groups are being prejudicial & discriminatory against some gay persons simply to appease the likes of Cornwall police. Cornwall police have a long history of homophobic attitudes and practises against depiction of male nudity in art by gay artists. This prejudice towards gay artists & male nudity in art is sadly supported by the Cornwall Pride sponsors.

 

Another organisation ‘Intercom Trust’ has attempted to have the art of Henry Scott Tuke RA, a Cornwall based artist of the C20th, eradicated from local LGBT history. See video:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=se7uBHikzWI
