Not my original content, but something I stand by
What’s with these “no cops at Pride” comics?
The Stonewall riots is a good place to start your history studies on the matter.
Thanks for your completely sincere suggestion, which I’m sure was made in a good faith effort to have a mature and intelligent discussion on this topic, but I’m actually very well versed in LGBT+ history already.
LGBT+ people have learned not to trust the police, and so will have a hard time relaxing and enjoying themselves if they are around.
Cops have motive, means and opportunity to abuse minorities they don’t “approve” of. Therefore (and because of previous form) they have made themselves unwelcome.
police have a long and vibrant history of violent abuse of those who identify as LGBT+
Shouldn’t we be working against that, though? Isn’t that the whole point of Pride… AND TREK?
neither the point of pride, nor the point of Trek, has anything to do with including your oppressors/keeping your enemies closer. Unless you think Cardassians were the point?
