NB: 2016 :This website in its entirety accepted & acknowledged by the UK Statutory Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse 

as CSA victim witness testimony submitted by Malcolm Lidbury against organisations & authorities primarily in Devon & Cornwall

(ie homophobic police & Intercom Trust) which collaborated in ignoring & covering up Child Sexual Abuse

(& further perpetuating homophobic abuse & hate crimes by authorities & organisations).

    A History of LGBT Cornwall - "One Queer Gay Life"

    - INDEX

    "This is rumour control...& here are the facts"

     

    In 2008 it became apparent much of Cornwall's early LGBT social history of later part of the C20th century was being sanitised. 

     

    Early LGBT Cornwall community activities, campaigning & achievements were  being 'airbrushed' out & erased from official sources of social Cornwall LGBT history month projects by later institutionally funded 'equality & diversity' organisations. 

     

    This in part has now been addressed through the Sprocket Trust archive of factual referenced aspects of LGBT history of Cornwall which 'some' in various authorities would prefer others did not know or acknowledge.
