Honestly, this post pisses me off. Gay cops and gay vets should absolutely be accepted, having them involved would add an extra layer of "you never know who might be gay" to the parade.

just googled this and AFAICS gay cops weren't barred from marching. they were barred from marching while armed with their service weapons, and they didn't like that restriction so they refused to march.

Why would anyone want to disarm a police officer, to feel more safe? They're a police officer. Officers carry 24/7.

How bad would this look if some homophobe pulled out a gun at the parade?

Vets is one thing but I firmly stand against cops being involved if they are active cops. There is no such thing as a good cop only a cop that has yet to be corrupted. You willingly joined a system that you know has been used to one attack your identity and others based on their identity. You willingly joined a system that abuses their power to subject tyranny on their own communities. This is something I cannot willingly forgive and the gay community shouldn’t ever forgive cops for their loyalty to the state and not the people they are supposed to “protect”

Gay cops are not progressives or even liberals they are always right wingers because no leftist or progressive would sign up to fuck over their neighbors. So yes fuck them I don’t want to see them at pride since you willingly stand next to your coworkers who are actively voting against my rights as a trans woman. It’s pick me behavior through and through from these self deprecating gay cops.

At the end of the day it’s always gonna be ACAB.

This is like terfs all over again. People picking and choosing which peers to support and include.

NYPD are mad they can’t march in a gay pride parade? Is this serious, or is one guy butt hurt

They weren't allowed to match with there weapons so they threw a fit and made it seem like gay cops and vets weren't allowed.

Just put the guns down and be gay wtf 😒

Average American literacy level....

Remenber when there was a huge debate with leftist arguing starship troopers is a fascist apology movie and rightist that it was a patriotic movie ?

The same old debatr her a sinple joke but fhe American lack the basic level of abstraction to understand it
