![]() I know I am late to this conversation, but I want to add that I am frustrated...
I have mixed emotions. I fully understand and respect the message BLM is trying to get out even if I do not fully subscribe to the methodology. There are countless cases where it appears police have used excessive and sometimes lethal force against individuals when it may not have been warranted. Additionally, I would assert many of those cases involved a black man being assaulted by the police. We MUST do something about this, but to paint ALL police as the bad guy boggles my mind. I understand that I have privilege, never having been racially profiled. I understand that this privilege brings a different perspective on law enforcement. I understand that I cannot fully understand what it is like to be on the wrong end of this sort of situation. However, I do know what it is like to be gay. I do know what it is like to be in a profession that has historically barred homosexuals from entry. I do know what it is like to finally secure rights and I do know what it is like to be proud. BLM stopped the Toronto Pride Parade until the organizers promised they would not have law enforcement floats in the parade. And again, I get that law enforcement (in the most general terms) has not been super supportive of equality for black people. Hey... they weren't support of equality for gay people either (anyone remember or read about Stonewall?). To me, it seems overly complicated to tell LGBT law enforcement officers that they cannot or should not march in a parade that shows and celebrates their attainment of legal equality. It also seems a bit problematic to tell general law enforcement "We don't need you." when Orlando had just happened and a guy with a car full of guns was stopped on his way to the LA Pride parade. :/ I am torn.

![]() Lighten up, dude.
As for the article, in my opinion BLM's message is racist and the organization is run by imbeciles who seem to think cops shouldn't be able to use force to defend themselves against violent people simply because the thug has dark skin. The pride movement would be well served by putting as much distance as possible between themselves and BLM. |

Stonewall was nearly 50 years ago, instead of following the BLM model where grievances can never be addressed or progress can never be achieved, the LGBT community ought to follow a path of equality instead of acting like spoiled children refusing to go to another bakery, etc. that welcomes their business. ![]() The guy with guns on the way to the LA gay pride parade is gay himself and was going to support the parade. |
