Part two of our Australian double feature consists of art work by Donald Stuart Leslie Friend
(1915-1989) an artist whose reputation suffered from both his homoerotic drawings of young men while living and the posthumous publication of his diaries. Those diaries described a number of
illegal and immoral (even by my own modern standards) relationships with models and others.
You make some good points. I would only add that in the 2000's there were several women imprisoned for affairs with underage males. Double standards in reference to gender haven't gone away, though.
