Reflecting upon impact & affect of HOMOPHOBIA and/or HIV/AIDS upon the lives of gay men. Represented through ceramic ‘raku’ fired pottery shards of male torso sculptures, created by Malcolm Lidbury. “I do not think there is a problem of homophobia within Devon & Cornwall Constabulary…I KNOW there is a genuine & sinister problem of homophobic attitudes & practises protected within this police force in 2009” Malcolm Lidbury has been relentlessly persicuted by a homophobic motivated members of Devon & Cornwall Constabulary, who have run & contributed to a ‘Gay Hate Vendetta’ against him since 2004. There is very little honesty, integrity, impartiality or transparency of conduct amongst the majority of the Cornwall police officers I have encountered in Cornwall since 2004. “When I see a Cornwall Police officer, it is for me as a gay man like looking at someone who holds views similar to that of a Neo- Nazi against gay people, that is my bitter experience of Cornwall police corruption, abuse, trauma, impact & affect… Cornwall Police = I KNOW they ARE the Homophobic Hate Crime problem” M Lidbury 2009
It is NOT that I think there is a corrupt problem of protected HOMOPHOBIC attitudes & practises within the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary…I KNOW there is!
Cornwall Police = They ARE the HOMOPHOBIC HATE CRIME problem!
…and Chief Constable Steven Otter just turns a blind eye!
Five stars
Touching Video. If there would be gay marriage everywhere in the world so many lives could have been saved.
First of all, my condolences for your loss.
I’m not only aware of the attitudes in Cornwall, but in many pockets of the world.
I’d only suggest that you take on board the bigger picture and see your cause as something to be expanded, rather than focussed on, for the good of everyone, be they Gay or straight.
I did try and contact you before, re friends of mine who lived in Cornwall for a time.
Wish you all the best and I hope you find peace.
Very beautiful and powerfully representative work. Thanks to vonspre for sharing this.
Have you considered taking the matter up with the Attorney Generals Office. I have just asked them to review a homophobic crime against myself and my partner where two people were arrested last year and the CPS dropped charges. They have re-victimized us in the past few months, and have got a little call from the police asking to stop. Not good enough. The home office law on harassment makes it quite clear they should be prosecuted. They are looking into my complaint.
Keeping creating, keeping telling, keep shining that light right back at them and so everyone can see the injustices.
Beautiful pieces

Your presentations always make me think if I can ever do enough to educate or stop this kind of action from people who are unaware.
Beautiful tribute. Poignant and sad. An important reality check. Thank you. sg
To my factual knowledge & bitter experience I can think of no greater HOMOPHOBIC organisation by its perpetuated lies, dishonesty & corruption of its police officers, than the that which is allowed to continue within the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary, UK.
Cornwall Police = They ARE the Homophobic Hate Crime problem!”

Merci cela peut surprendre mais c’est d’une beauté!!!!
19th July: Devon & Cornwall police are still dishonestly & corruptly suppressing over six hours of video taped gay victim/witness statement & documentation of criminal, misconduct & homophobic conduct of numerous named & identified known homophobic Cornwall police officers & staff.
Cornwall police are the HOMOPHOBIC Hate Crime problem!
I (thepinkpasty) have been been invited to speak on Cornish radio Monday 30th August 10 to 11 AM Source FM studios Tremough University…Now what topic?
Cornwall police corruption & homophobia?
Cornwall PRIDE exclusion & history?
Healthy Gay Cornwall, HIV & gay suicides?
…such a choice of material!!!!
I’ll probably go with ineffectual IPCC & police corruption, dishonesty & homophobia since I have so much 1st hand experience & documentation on it.
THANK YOU YOUTUBERS!
Today we past TWO MILLION views in total of Pink Pasty Videos, raising awareness of Cornwall police homophobic attitudes & practices.
There are 67 Pink Pasty videos to view!
The Pink Pasty (blog) & youtube channel started in 2007 due to refusal of Devon & Cornwall Constabulary to address our experience & knowledge of police dishonesty, corruption & homophobia in the Cornwall (UK) police force.
