When a Gay Pride organisation discriminates & is prejudiced towards pagans & gay art you know there is a problem with the thinking within the organisation.
Cornwall Gay PRIDE 2011 committee have barred pagan & male figurative sculpture from this years Cornwall Pride festival.
This follows a previous attack upon male art by Intercom Trust (a UK government funded group) on the art of Cornish artist Henry Scott Tuke, after Sir Elton John loaned 17 of his Tuke paintings to Truro City museum.
It is felt previous homophobic reaction by members of Devon & Cornwall Constabulary against depiction of male nudity in art & gay artists in recent years may be a motivating factor causing Cornwall Gay Pride 2011 to bar male & pagan art sculpture out of fear of offending their funding masters.
