NYPD ‘banned’ from LGBT pride march, events
|
[HotAir] There’s going to be a gay pride parade in New York City again this year (likely ignoring any remaining NY COVID restrictions) but some people may be missing from the crowd. The organizers of the annual event have announced that the New York City Police Department is not welcome at the parade. Where they found the authority to make such a pronouncement is completely unknown, but the person in charge certainly seems to feel as if he has the ability to make sweeping decisions like this. The ban applies to "participating" in the parade, but it’s not exactly clear how that would apply to municipal employees who are working in the vicinity of the parade as opposed to those who are marching.

Police will be banned from participating in NYC Pride events, including its signature LGBTQ march, until 2025, the organization announced Saturday.
NYC Pride is also working to reduce the New York Police Department’s security and first responder presence at its events, the organization said.
So who will they call when the thugs show up to beat the crap out of them?
André Thomas, co-chair of Heritage of Pride, which produces NYC Pride, told ABC News it was a difficult decision that’s "not going to please everyone."
"We know many LGBT cops," Thomas said. "But what the institution represents sometimes to a person of color or trans person is violence, and that doesn’t make you feel safe. So that’s the perspective we’re coming from. You may very well experience violence and it won't be the police.
