Homoerotic art still unacceptable
An exhibit of photographer John Trobaugh's art has been kicked around in a public gallery of Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The exhibit, featuring GI Joe and Ken dolls hugging and staring at each other, was deemed too controversial and was removed until protests forced the college to reinstate the exhibit in a small, difficult to find, second-story school room. Trobaugh felt insulted by the placement and chose to remove his exhibit from Alabama altogether. Richard Meyer, who has writtten on the censorship of gay-theme art in the U.S. states that anything homoerotic, no matter how inoffensive, is often removed for being too political.
