Yes, you saw this from me. I'm OK with it.
For more than 100 years, the LGBTs has been the target of Police Departments in everything from entrapments to humiliations. They were the ones who lured men at the parks, they were the ones who raided the gay bars, they were the ones who went after transgender prostitutes on the streets, they were the ones who turned their cheeks when straight people attacked us outright.
When we fought for our rights to live our lives and host our businesses, events and all that stuff - the society started to accept us for who we are. Suddenly, we have these police departments wanting to sign up for our events, festivals, parades and all that shit.
How do you truly think we are going to react like that?
They have yet to apologize for what they did to thousands of gay men in the last 100 years. They have no remorse nor empathy for what they did in the past. Why do you think the Stonewall Inn riots started? It started when the NYPD staged a fucking raid on the gay bar!
So today, the LGBT organizations decided to reject the police departments from being part of their festivals/parades in solidarity with the BLM and others, I'm all for it.
Police Officers are not heroes, they are just ... public servants. And they have yet to apologize for their sins.
Cheers,
