cops do not, have never, and will never “belong” at pride.
if you believe that the police have any right to involve themselves whatsoever in our pride celebrations and demonstrations of solidarity, you are choosing to ignore the reality of institutional violence our people face to this day, and you are directly disrespecting our community’s foundational history. of lesbians being arrested and violated for crossdressing, gay men being entrapped and brutalized for cruising, trans women being assaulted and murdered by the police… the list goes on. the horrors and dehumanization the lgbt community has faced and continues to face at the hands of law enforcement are depressingly endless and absolutely appalling.
cops are not welcome at pride. they never have been and they never will be. stonewall was a riot. and we are still fighting around the world to this day. respect our history.
i dont trust people who have a cup by their sink for when they brush their teeth. yall too good to drink out of your hands? too good to live like our ancestors? imperial scum
