    really getting shat off at this.

    1. no one is preventing individual gay cops from joining in. They don’t want the police as an institution to use us as PR, especially since they’re still failing the community

    2. IT IS NOT OUR JOB as a community to reach out, lean in, make space for people who are the reason Pride exists.
